*exclamer* Subjective information.
I find hip measurement a more accurate tell of fat loss. My waist size goes up and down quite drastically day to day, but my hips remain very stable. I assume this is because the stomach and intestines are holding different amounts of foods all the time, thus the measurement is fluctuating in accordence.. I should also note that I do not do any hip or glute work, so it may be different for you..
