How are you keeping track

Well, After like 8 months of being inactive I got the new tugger-x and am starting to use it.. So, just for all practical purposes, This is the begining. I am wondering how you are keeping track of your progress. I have a spread sheet that has a few measurments. I am using a simple, yet effective way to keep track of tissue growth, but i think i will need something more effective to notice small changes (weakly, instead of monthly).

I am recording the baseline and then will go from there. I am doing this flacid and fully erect. I am measuring from the base to the scar, and from the tip to the scar. So i should be able to see where the growth is coming from and how its working. I will also try to keep pictures, but i just need to make myself wear the device every day.

It can be interesting to monitor progress, but my suggestion would be to do it infrequently. Be kind of relaxed about it. Using your device regularly, that's the important focus. Believe me, the whole thing goes so slowly that, if measureable change is what you are resting your motivation on, you will be frequently disappointed, with a good chance you will become very discouraged.

For one thing, growth isn't linear. In other words, it happens, but with occasional apparent plateaus. Also, just when you think you've gained a milestone, like coverage of a certain area, it will seemingly disappear again, in the sense that what you've grown won't reliably cover in any measureable way.

So tug/restore; just keep at it, day after day, month after month, year after year. This process will be a test of everyone's endurance, and it's primarily endurance that will give you what you want.

i started out trying to keep track of progress on a very often basis, the truth is getting a good honest measurement is hard to do, so when you do measure you have to take measurements at different times of day on different days to get a good indicator of progress, of course the further apart the easier it is to see progress with multiple measurements.

in this sense pictures seem to be a better measurement
