    The middle measurements are very impressive! An hourglass figure on the way!
    You go, Sojo!
  • I'll do another measurement after the holidays, I don't think I've lost much in inches, and I don't want to be to awfully disappointed.

  • Yay Virginia! You are doing so well! I'm really happy for you. Keep it up girl!
  • Virginia, good for you, girl!!

    Velvet, me too. I don't think I'll measure until about mid February.
  • Yay for Virgina~the Incredible Shrinking Woman!
  • Thank you everyone. (Takes a bow) I really did not have a good week last week, but made a mojor change in my life today so hopefully things will begin to fall into place. I finish off this week at work, am off for two weeks and start a different job in January. It was very hard saying goodbye to my employers and friends, but it had to be done and they understood.

  • All alone...
    C'mon Chickies! Grab your tape measures and liberate yourselves! Why am I the only one recording these lovely measurements?? Think how great you will feel when you measure yourself again at Easter and can see that the inches have disappeared.

    Neck: 14" (same)
    Shoulders: 43" (same, total 4")

    Forearms: 10 3/4" (same, total 1/4")
    Chest: 35" (same, total 3")
    Bust: 42" (same, total 4")
    Waist: 34" (same, total 3 1/2")
    Hips: 45 3/4" (down 1/4", total 2 3/4")

    Calves: 15 1/4" (down 1/4", total 1/2")
    Largest Circumference: 50 1/2" (same, total 3 1/2")

    Whoo hoo... there is downward movement on my bottom half!! Must be all of that walking I did in Thailand!

  • WOW Sojo
    I was lurking around and I saw your mesurements. Good work.

    I do measure, but only once a month. I posted my measures in my 3FC journal. You are pretty funny measuring your neck and shoulders. How do you measure your shoulders? I have a measurement called teh "FAt Belly". I have always had a fat belly just below my belly button. I measure right in the middle of it and the measure goes right around to the back top part of my butt that I call..."the ham hocks".

    Have fun!!!

  • HAHA...
    Yes, I have a fat belly measurement too... although I didn't post it! Right now its about two inches more than my waist measurment. LOL. For shoulders I measure about two inches down from my the top of my shoulders. That and the "largest circumference" measurement are very important... as they really are how big people perceive you. Someone suggested the largest circumference measurement... measure the largest point around your body... probably around the breast area, including the arms. This is how much space you take up in the world!
