Most of the error in your reading is not mine — it is the tape. The neck goes at its narrowest, just under the larynx; the waist at the navel, not where your trousers happen to sit; the hips at their widest point, wherever that is on you. A waist taken three centimetres high is a different number wearing the same name, and next month it will look like progress when nothing has changed. Measure at the same places every time and the comparison is worth something. #facts
