There is also an informational area you can click on to learn more about the graphing. If your body part shows higher and then another way low vs. in the middle, I believe those are the parts out of proportion, but it will tell you on the site. My ankles and wrist are way out of proportion, but after boxing for a few months, my wrists actually gained 1/2 inch, so it changed a bit. -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
