This may sound crazy but the other day I measured my waist at the navel and it measured 34.5 inches. This was at about 3:30 in the afternoon. Yesterday I took the same measurement shortly after I woke up and it measured 33 inches. I was relaxed and didn't cheat. Is this normal and if so, why? When is the proper time to take body measurements to ensure accuracy. Thanks

You will get the smallest measurements in the A.M.

There is no best time, unless the smaler numbers make you happeir. Just measure yourself at the same time, all the time. Remember, we also weigh less in the a.m, but don't weigh yourself either.
