So since I got a new weight today, I took my measurements. I do this every time I get a new weight, and some in between, and I've been noticing something here lately. Awhile back, I took my hip measurement and got 42", well now it's back up to 43". My bust measurement has gone back up too; back up to 40. My waist hasn't really changed at all. Is this my body redistributing itself? Talk about an hourglass figure, though! Haha!

I don't have any explanation for your measurements, but it looks like you are doing really well - only 18 lbs to go is terrific. I am a couple of inches shorter than you, but want to loose the same amount of weight. You are way ahead of me. Way to go!

I dunno, could be fluid retention, which is what I'd think unless it doesn't change. I know the heat of the summer causes people to retain. But in my opinion you're looking marvelous anyway

Small changes like that are often either bloating or simple measurement error. Pictures are generally a better way to tell, especially in the same clothing or location, so you can you the space around your body or fit of the clothing as a guide.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to mismeasure. One day you pull tight, another you leave it a little loser, or etc. Keep on trucking, and congrats on breaking the 180 barrier!

The same thing happens to me. I tell myself I'm just measuring wrong (maybe not exactly in the same place) but it really does a number on my self esteem.

Its very possible you are mismeasuring as others have stated. Its very difficult to measure ourselves precisely and the same way every time. Also, I know around TOM by chest and hips blow up so it could possibly be that too!

I've noticed my measurements change depending on what time of day I take them- they can also be kind of imprecise, because sometimes you might hold it slightly tighter or in a slightly different spot.

Also, water weight will increase your measurements, but it's not too much to worry about. Any chance you're building muscle as well?
