How to take your measurements

Measuring yourself is a vital part of the Liv Style LifeStyle. The scale tracks one form of progress, but the measuring tape is your best friend.

  1. Bust: Don’t squish yourself -- measure all the way around your bust and back right at your nipple line.
  2. Chest: Measure under your breasts as high up as you can go, keeping the tape measure straight as you reach it around your back.
  3. Waist: Measure wherever it is the smallest (if you have “no waist” go around yourself right at the navel line).
  4. Hips: Measure at the very biggest part -- even if that is so low that you are almost on the top of your thighs.
  5. Midway: Measure midway between the very biggest part of your hips and your waist.
  6. Thighs: Measure wherever they are the biggest.
  7. Upper arm: Measure wherever they are biggest above your elbows.
  8. Neck: Measure around your neck at the middle.

Tips:
It is good to have someone assist you in taking your measurements. Keep the length of the measuring tape perfectly parallel to the floor at all times. Pull the tape snug, but not so tight that it squeezes your body. Measure in the same place each time.
