How should I take measurements?

[Guest guest]

I want to start taking my measurements in anticipation of hopefully having

this surgery.

Anyone have any suggestions of which measurements to take and exactly how to

take them.

i.e. how do I measure my arms? How far from the shoulder or elbow? How do I

measure my thighs? How far from the hips? How do I measure (or should I

even measure) my calves?

Any suggestions would we greatly appreciated.

Now your talking!

When I lost weight on Optifast I made up a chart of measurements. Three feet by

three feet. I measured my neck, around my shoulders, my biceps my forarms ,my

waist , hips ,top of my thighs,mid thigh, knee, calves and ankles. I lost about

four pounds a week and weighed in weekly. I put the new measurements next to the

old for 7 months. It was great to see the progress. I'll have to start over

now, after my July 19th surgery but I know it will be fun to watch the progress

again.
