i'm struggling with this because there is a difference but also a huge problem
i hadnt been measuring something that i prolly should have
i do the bust, waist and hips(i dont measure thighs or arms) but i hadnt been measuring the belly that i have leftover from 2005 when i had a c-section baby
bust-32 "under and 40" for the girls
waist 35 1/2"
belly flap 42"
under flap 39"
hips 42"

this is good and bad cause the flap from having a c-section isnt something that just goes away(my mom has the same thing from when i was born) but she hasnt had a huge weight gain loss in over 20 years.
if i suck my gut in its still very noticeable and frankly feels gross to me, but i dont think i'm gonna wait til 30 to fix it i would like to hit my big goal and stay there for a few months then get it fixed(it might end up waiting til i pass 28 but no later that my 29th)
i doubt i'll get my boobs fixed one day they headed south since i was 14

Good for you taking your measurements. They're a very valuable tool to have when you get frustrated by the scale.

As for getting things 'fixed'.... I have no illusions, I'm gonna end up getting my boobs fixed under the condition that I reach goal and maintain for 2 years. It's really up to you and how you feel about yourself when you start to notice changes and such. My sister had a c-section baby and has lost a bunch of weight since then (she was overweight when pregnant), she still has that little pooch where the muscle was separated/where the scar is but it has really shrunk with the rest of her body. It looks pretty normal for women who have had kids.
