Default Taking measurements - how frequently and what do you measure?

I took my measurements (but only hips, waist, neck, and two breast measurements - rib cage, and fullest part of bust) a couple of weeks ago. I'm trying to decide when to take them again. I want it to be long enough that I can see a difference - should I do it once a month? Everytime I lose 10 lbs? What do you do?

I didn't think to take my measurements initially (or maybe didn't want to see the numbers??) so first time I measured was 4 months in. Remembered to measure 1 month later and then forgot again for another 4 months. The good news is when you wait that long, you see really big results. I've only been measuring waist and that's down 7 inches in 5 months. Woo Hoo.

I measured my chest, my waist and my hips. I never thought to measure anywhere else. Those are the 3 places they measure on X-Weighted LOL

eta My plan is to measure once a month, I guess.

I take measurements every 10th day...I measure my hips, neck, biceps (I have big arms but they are finally shinking), waist, thigh, and under the breastaclese (so i have a starting point when my bras get too big). I try not to measure or weigh during my monthly.

I do it about every 2 weeks but am only recording the 1st of the month. I actually am only doing waist and hips.
