 Body measurements can be a useful way to track your progress. At times you'll see a loss of inches even when the scale isn't moving. To ensure accuracy, measure in exactly the same place and under the same conditions each time. Here are some helpful tips! Common Body Measurements Bust: Place the measuring tape across your nipples and measure around the largest part of your chest. Be sure to keep the tape parallel to the floor. Chest: Place the measuring tape just under your breasts/pecs and measure around the torso while keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Waist: Place the measuring tape about a 1/2 inch above your bellybutton (at the narrowest part of your waist) to measure around your torso. When measuring your waist, exhale and measure before inhaling again. Hips: Place the measuring tape across the widest part of your hips/buttocks and measure all the way around while keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Reference: Sparkpeople.com
