I take measurments of everything LOL chest , neck, waist, hips, upper and lower arms, calves, thighs.


Oh and my husband is in the military and they have weight requirements. Well if they don't make the weight requirements they have to be taped . Because they could be over weight , but under body fat % . The neck measurements are to calculate body fat % . They measure their waist , chest and neck .

I measure my upper arm and thigh.. just because they're big and I like to see them shrinking. I don't really 'measure', I just use a piece of thread for comparison.

When I was in my late teens and trying to lose weight, I use to measure myself. But I don't anymore.
