[QUOTE="caroline_92, post: 1625703, member: 126167"] I am a huge fan of waist size and using it an an indicator of how good my diet is overall. Far more so than weight. I find my waist fluctuates according to how many carbs I (over) consume. So more carbs consumed (than I should eat given my insulin resistance) leads to more blood sugar circulating leads to more insulin being produced leads to more fat being laid down. Which is typically stored around the middle first. I don't have a fancy tape measure though - just use my clothes! [/QUOTE]
