You are truly one of the biggest role models in this guild. I'll admit I've fallen off the bandwagon and after Christmas I'm hopping right back on.
But I've decided that I'd rather be healthy than skinny so I'd like to track my weight less and track my measurements more. When I was younger, at 140lb I'd get compliments on being skinny all the time so I'm guessing I have a bigger bone structure? Anyway, I was wondering if you could give me advice on how to take measurements and how to figure out what my ideal measurements would be.
3nodding I'm not so sure what to tell you on what your exact measurements should be.
Here's a photo of how to measure yourself:http://p12.hostingprod.com/@bridesmaidsbyjump.com/ystore/images/measurement-chart-1.jpg
Chest: Measure around the largest part of your chest.
Biceps: Measure midway between the top of your shoulder and elbow.
Waist: Measure at the narrowest point, approximately one inch above your belly button. No cheating! Don't pull in your belly or stick it out.
Hips: Measure your hips around the largest part of your buttocks with your heels together.
Thigh: Thighs are measured separately. Stand with your legs slightly apart. Measure your upper leg where the circumference is largest.
When measuring, pull the tape just tight enough to keep it from sagging.
I wouldn't recommend measuring more than once or twice a month because unless you're doing weight lifting as well, you really wont see any change that fast.
