Should I do mine more often, as I do mine every 2 weeks.

I don't tape measure myself.....and my trainer takes my bf% every time I see him, which has been every 2-3 weeks so far....

I was going to once a month but now I'm thinking maybe I should be doing it 2x a month.

I have a 7 point body fat test done every month. For me it is the only true way to gauge my progress.

I dont bother measuring but really only look at weight & bodyfat. The only fun measurement I have is the fact that I measure a 15" bicep, but that also includes a certain amount of bodyfat.

Unless I am on a particular focused program I actually have rarely bothered getting my bodyfat done. For previous competition progress tracking I did it 1x / week. For my current training its E3D because my diet gets adjusted based on it. Just for tracking purposes tho, 2x/month is more than sufficient. For competition, probably better 1x/week.

I think like you slat1 that I'm looking at it as a progress chart.

Personally I get too freaked out and too obsessive if I have my bodyfat measured too often. If I am not dieting down for a particular purpose, I have it measured about once every 2 months. If I am dieting down, then once every month. As for measurements, this is also a slow process unless you are dieting down for a particular purpose. So I do measurements about once every 3 months.
