Well I measure my waist, hips and thighs. I literally wrap the measure around the area, e.g. my waist - don't pull it tight, let it sit comfortably and make a note of the number in inches. Do the same for your hips and thighs.

Depending on yourself, you might want to measure around the tops of your arms as well as that is a problem area for a lot of people.

I am measuring once a week and when my scales remain unchanged I can feel happy in the knowledge that I'm still losing inches.

I hope this helps,

Re: help..

Oh yeah and I do it myself but having someone else do it for you could certainly make the whole thing more enjoyable
