Oh I forgot to add that my starting weight when I joined this lovely group was 188lbs. My last weigh-in was 184.5lbs.

Hoping by Saturday to be in the 170's!!! I haven't seen the 170's in over 2 years.

Agghh my table was perfectly spaced out until I posted it.....

I think a good suggestion for MedHelp would be to allow Excel tables to be posted on here! lol

Well i just chkd mine for midweek weigh in i have to know i cant wait the full 7 days lol!! I have not lost any inches still the same on everywhere i measure but im down .6 lbs so considering i only got 1 true day of workout in plus i ate bad yesterday im happy im still the same!!
WTG Joy!! Inches lost is something lost!! It's great to keep track cus sometimes that happens the scales wont move but the measure tape does!!

Joy! I lost went from 159lbs to 154.3 lbs and from a 38.5" waist to a 37.5" waist from when I started *********** on the 12th to sat which was...the 24.. so 12 days..I need to start measuring all over like you do. and right it down on a sheet so I can keep track of it easily.

Congrats to you girl! Thats awesome! I want a 34" waist! lol

[Jame0223]

ugh...when I started s p a r k p e o p l e!  I feel like I may not be measuring myself correctly..Like the tape is too high on my backside for a waist or hip measurement...guess i'll just have to wing it!

[JoyRenee]

LOL! It's okay, I know when I see all those stars you're referring to that site. Ha ha!!! MH no likey them.

GoToDoIt- I can make it out! You've lost a lot on your waist. My thigh measurements are tricky. I try to measure mid-thigh so I remember to measure in the same place. So they might be a little off, but I've been riding our stationary bike for 20-30 minutes almost everyday! I think that's why!!! I really want to lose my butt though!

Do you know the rule for how big your waist should be? Half your height in inches. I'm 5'3" which is 63 inches. Half of my height in inches is 31.5 so my waist needs to be about 31-32 inches.

[gokuangel]

TY for that info Joy!! i didnt know that i knew about the weight and water i should have guess it was the same for waist lol!! Well i guess im on track then! i started at 35 and im now at 31! i was going for under 30 though like 29 or 28 i guess that may a lil bit much to expect then huh? well if i can just tone i will be happy!!

[Lonelymom]

Congratulations!!!!!  I haven't been measuring my inches just my weight, which is finally starting to come down!!

  

[Got_To_Do_It]

Ohh I didn't know that about the waist -  so half my height (5ft 9") 69" is  34.5" so at least one part of my body is doing okay now lol.

Todays measurements as promised

Chest: (1 Jan)= 42"          (29 Jan)= 41.5"
Waist (1 Jan) = 39"          (29 Jan) = 35"
Hips (1 Jan) =43"             (29 Jan) = 42"
Bum (1 Jan) = 44"            (29 Jan) = 43"
Right Thigh (1 Jan) =23"    (29 Jan) = 23"
Right claf (1 Jan) =15"       (29 Jan) = 14.5"
Left Thigh (1 Jan) = 23"      (29 Jan) = 22.5"
Left Calf (1 Jan) = 16"        (29 Jan) = 15"

Weight (1 Jan) = 186.8lbs   (29 Jan) = 176.6lbs

So total inches lost = 8.5"
Sp total weight lost = 10.2lbs

When you measure your butt...do you just go around where your butts the biggest? lol where it starts to curve down? I got my measurements all done and stuff..I'll post them later. I haven't weighed since saturaday...but I don't know if I have lost any.

Joy did you join buddy teams? I don't think I really like mine. It just started and they've already got up a bunch of point goals that we have to make..like 10 of them...But its just like adding up all our daily stuff and sparkpoints..and having to do certain things every day...its kind of ridiculous how much stuff they want us to do from the get go and I don't really see a point in it...its a little too much interaction...What team are you on?

[Got_To_Do_It]

Yep you got the right part of you butt lol
