I haven't taken any measurements since a few months into my weight loss, at the end of 2007. Took some last night when my husband unearthed the tape measure....

I started at 225-230 lbs, and now I'm 138.
I started at 36 inches around my waist (and that was down a little from the start), and now it's 27 inches.
My hips were 44 inches...now 36.
My neck was 13 inches...now 12.

Maybe, since I can't see it in my mind, the numbers will help me visualize the loss...

Congrats! You look so great!
