I thought I knew, but a co-worker has cast a few doubts in my head!

How do you measure your waist? back? bust? hips?

Thanks A BUNCH in advance.

I got this from a health web site.

The correct way to meaure yourself is:

The tape should be against the skin & pulled snug. But NOT too tight.

Right Arm:-midway between the shoulder & elbow

Waist:-one inch above the navel

Hips:-at the maximum width

Right thigh:-just below the buttocks

Hope that helps Maryann
