Thanks, Jen!
Might as well do the arms and legs, too-
bicep (arm held straight, 3" above elbow): 13
thigh (leg bent right angle, 8" above knee): 23.75

Looking at the tape I can't even imagine anyone's waist being that size!

I am just starting out- I don't have a scale at home and am planning to weigh myself 1ce/week at the gym. I think I'll take my measurements and pics 1ce/mo. Does this sound reasonable? Also, does anyone else measure the difference between stomach sucked in and relaxed? I am so looking forward to those numbers being closer!

Man, this part sucks (although I do wish I'd taken them before I started this journey)

Current measurements:
Neck: 17.50"
Bicep: 13.5"
Forearm: 11"
Chest: 44"
Bust: 50"
Waist: 45.5"
Hips: 48.5"
Thigh: 24.75"
Calf: 17.75"

Depending on what site I use, I have a medium to large frame.

jojo, you are starting out, be easy on yourself, I would never have thought my waist would be be 36". it's always been so tiny. You just have to go with what you got now. The fun part is seeing it whittle away. your plan sounds very reasonable.

Random, I know what you mean by wishing you started your measurements, I probably would not be so hard on myself if I had taken them right after I had the baby.

ahh, in the long run it'll all be worthwhile gotta keep the finish line in "sight"

Date---bust---underbust---waist in---waist out---hip---bicep---thigh
6/1----44.5----37.5---------38.5------40.25-------45----13------23.75
6/7----45------37.5---------37.25-----40.5--------45----13.5----23.5

I sure hope that new bust measurement is due to the push-ups, because I sure don't need these puppies getting any bigger!

Wow, that was quite the change in your waist measurements, Jojoland. Congratulations!

[Munchy]

I have been battling the same 5lbs for about 4 years. I'm so annoyed because I want to lose 10 to 15, especially on my flabby arms!

Bust:36
Waist:24
Hips:37
Thigh:22
Arm: 11

[jendiet]

Ugh, TOM! I never would have thought my uterus would take up so much space! Time to kick it up a notch...
