Where to you measure?

I'm curious about how the rest of you measure and where you measure? I've lost 61.5" from the following areas: upper arms (both) thighs (both) calves (both) Bust Chest Waist Abdomen (2" below the navel) Hips Sometimes it's really encouraging to measure when the scale isn't moving. Julie

Hey Julie, I also measure my shoulders, neck and wrists. You are so right, the inches are encouraging when the lbs aren't moving down. Michelle

Chest Bust Waist hips upper thigh (both) knee (both) calf (both) upper arm (both) Elbow (both) You will be amazed at how your knees and elbows can change. Mary

If I had it all to do over again . . . this is what I would do different!! I never took measurements pre-op (or pictures for that matter)!! I think it would make things way easier when the scale doesn't move to at least see the inches falling off. The only way I can tell that I've lost inches is with my clothes. I don't know if it's too late to start or what though. Amanda

I measure: bust, chest, waist, BELLY (ugh!!), hips, upper thigh, calf, and upper arm. I have lost 55 1/2 inches total; and I am SO glad that I kept track of the measurements as well as the lbs!! Sherri C 242/181/140 RNY 2/16/04 -61

Sherri, Our stats are almost exactly the same. How old and how tall are you? Got any pictures? I'm 45 and 5'4" Julie 247/179/140-150
