Body Measurements Guide
Track your progress beyond the scale with accurate body measurements. Learn proper techniques and understand why measurements matter for your weight loss journey.
Why Body Measurements Matter
While the scale shows total weight, body measurements reveal changes in body composition. You might be losing fat and gaining muscle, which won't always show on the scale but will be visible in your measurements and how your clothes fit.
Neck
Measure around the base of your neck, just below the Adam's apple
Chest/Bust
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor
Waist
Measure around your natural waistline, typically the narrowest part of your torso
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of your hips, typically 7-9 inches below your waist
Thigh
Measure around the largest part of your thigh, typically near the top
Upper Arm
Measure around the largest part of your upper arm when flexed
Pro Tip
Take measurements every 2-4 weeks, not daily. Your body needs time to show measurable changes. Focus on trends over time rather than day-to-day fluctuations.
