So like many before me, I stand, all be it most times naked, in front of the mirror on a morning and see no difference from the girl half a year ago that weighed 200 lbs.

Yes my clothes fit a little loser, but over all i think i'm the same.

I made a post on a "new year new you" thread when i first joined 3fc and stumbled across it this afternoon.

Here is what I was:

My starting point:
Weight: 197.2
Waist - 36 3/4″
Hips - 43 3/4″
Under bust - 39″
Bust - 44 1/2″
Upper Thigh - 26 1/2″
Bicep- 12 3/4″

What I am now:
Weight : 177.8lbs
Waist : 33 1/2" -3 1/4"
Hips : 40 1/2"-2 1/4"
Thigh : 21" 5 1/2"!!!!
Arm : 12" -3/4"

Holy cow! I've lost 5 1/2 inches off of my thigh?! thats 11 inches combined on both!!! And all together 11 3/4"~!??

Let's see some stats ladies!

I think it's such a great idea to track your measurements. I've noticed that weeks when I don't lose a lot of weight, my inches are still going down... it keeps me motivated! I can also understand looking in the mirror and not seeing any difference sometimes... on a bad day, nothing fits and I'm still 213 lbs. Ugh!

Here are my stats:
Feb 2009
Starting Weight: 213 lbs
Starting Hips: 49.5″
Starting Waist: 40.5″
Starting Thighs: 29″
Starting Calves: 15″
Starting Bust: 42″
Starting Arms: 16″

July 2009
Weight: 171.8 (-41.2)
Hips: 40.5″ (-9)
Waist: 34″ (-6.5)
Thighs: 23″ (-6)
Calves: 14″ (-1)
Bust: 36″ (-6)
Arms: 13″ (-3)

It's a little unreal (not in a good way) that my hips used to be nearly 50 inches.. wow. See, we ARE smaller, even if we don't perceive it while looking in the mirror!

I just started taking my measurements in May, not in March when I started, but here goes:

May 26, 2009

Weight: 208.2
Waist: 36.5
Hips: 44.25
Bust: 41.5
Under Bust: 39
Right Thigh: 25
Left Thigh: 25
Right Calf: 17.5
Left Calf: 17.5
Right Arm: 13.5
Left Arm: 13.5

July 25, 2009

Weight: 198.6
Waist: 33.5
Bust: 40
Under Bust: 36
Right Thigh: 20.5
Left Thigh: 20.5
Right Calf: 16.5
Left Calf: 17.0
Right Arm: 13.5
Left Arm: 13.5

I know I've lost a lot more inches off my waist/hips, I just didn't record it, but I can definately tell the difference between my thighs/hips/butt.

Damn my arms and calves. Damn them.

I started taking these measurements like... *thinks* in late June? So my results are pretty paltry so far as it's only been a month, but...

Late June:
Natural Waist: 31.5 inches
Hips (around bellybutton): 38.5 inches
Thighs: 23.2 inches

Late July:
Natural Waist: 30 inches
Hips (around bellybutton): 37.5 inches
Thighs: 22.75 inches

I also don't take a lot of measurements, but here's what I have

March 2009:
Waist (narrowest part): 34
Hips (widest part): 43
Thigh (widest part): 26
Bust: 38

July 2009:
Waist: 29
Hips: 39
Thigh: 24
Bust: 36

Not very accurate, but it shows some progress ETA: dang I have some huge thighs

On another note, I felt great, totally different after I lost about 20lbs, but after a couple of weeks, the mentality is creeping back that I look the same, I'm still just as fat. I can't really see myself as any different. The only difference I still really see is my face.
