This is for those of us who would like to keep track of our progress in inches lost. It is totally optional, just another tool in the progress we are making. You can update weekly, bi weekly, monthly, or when we are feeling stalled sometimes the inches show up before the pounds.

I really love the spirit and initiative in this group!

In the morning, I'll face the tape measure and submit this antique body to the terror of the tape measure.

I'm not going to list my measurements yet but I want to give you the website I use to keep track.

www.mybodycomp.com

Measurements taken May 20 when I weighed about 180 lbs. and decided to "get back in shape" (for the umpteenth time):

Chest 38
Waist 34
Hips 42
Thighs 27

I figure 10 pound increments should make a difference, so I will remeasure when I get to 170 lbs, my goal for July.

I don't know if I'm measuring right or even in the same places consistently! :P I feel like I've lost more inches than that in my thigh but I can't remember exactly where I measured the first time!

OK, I'm in.

chest under bust - 29
waist - 30 (breathing out)
belly - 34 (breathing out)
hips - 34
upper arm - 11 (above bicep)
lower arm - 9 1/4 (under elbow)
thigh - 22
calf - 13 1/2

It seems as though we've lost the measurement-motivation! No matter! I'll hopefully be back tonight to enter my new "starting" measurements. I'm planning on tracking my successes more with measurements than weight from now on.

I am back on track as well Kim. I have not been doing so well. We need to let the newbies in on this sticky as well.
