Hi Phrens!

I just wanted to share with you all my success with my weight loss so far! I started at the end of August. I didn't think to take my measurements then, but I've been taking them every month now on the 8th of the month. I've only lost about 15lbs, but I think I must be gaining muscle and loosing fat, because I have dropped (almost) 2 dress sizes. The reason I say "almost", is that some 8's are still tight on me, but the 12's I was wearing before are WAY big on me! YIPPIE!!! I don't measure my whole body, just the main areas. Here's my before measurements and my measurements ( in inches) from today!!

9/8/05 11/07/05
Breasts 38 / 36.5
under breasts 32 / 30
waist 34 / 30.5
hips 42 / 39.5
R thigh 24 / 23
R calf 15 / 14
R arm 12 / 11.5

It is SOOOO encouraging for me to take my measurements. I really highly recommend it for everyone who doesn't already do it. I also take pictures of myself. I'll have to get my husband to take one tonight If there's a big enough difference, I just might get brave enough to post them!!!! lol Can you post pictures of yourself in bra and panties? Just want to be sure before i do it I don't see how it's any different than a bathing suit picture.

Anyway, I still have about 20lbs to go until my final goal...but I'll get there!!! Thanks everyone for all the support!!

Congrats, Becky! FOUR inches from your waist?? That's amazing! What type of exercising are u doing?
I haven't been measuring, but judging by how the clothes have been fitting, I've lost majority in the booty, heehee.

Ashley - Girl! You're smokin!! I can't believe you've lost so much in such a short period of time! Doesn't it feel great!!!

Eternity - it really does help to keep me motivated to keep my measurements. Try it! You'll like it! hehehe

Leigh - Thanks Yeah, I couldn't believe I lost 4 inches from my waist either!! Some of it was in my butt and hips, but a lot of it was actually in my stomach area. You can really see the difference in the pictures, even though it's only been 2 months. I try to do LOTS of cardio. I want to burn as many calories as I can. I get to the gym on average, 3X/week. On 2 of those days I do a 1hr spin class. On those same 2 days, I do about 30mins on the machines too (arms and legs). On the 3rd day, I do 20mins on the stepper (started with 10mins and worked my way up) and 15mins on the eliptical machine, then I do the 30mins of machines (arms and legs). I sit allll day at work, so I really don't do much other than that. I do work out in my yard and i do take the stairs instead of the elevator at work, so I guess that counts too

Thanks for the support ladies!!
