Ok, I'm sick of my stupid body and it's love of retaining water at the drop of a hat. Soooo...how about a weekly measurement challenge? Every Friday we all enter our measurements, talk about our progress etc. Who's in?

Here's a template for measurements:

Chest:
Left bicep:
Right bicep:
Waist:
Hips:
Left thigh:
Right thigh:
Left calf:
Right calf:

Here's a quick explanation of how to take measurements:

Someone do this with me, haha, I don't want to be the only one!!

Can I just do bust, waist and hips? I can't be bothered keeping track of the others! I think I am something like bust 42, waist 32 and hips 44 inches! I am scared to measure myself

I'm in!

I was going to measure once a month, but I can do weekly, too

I would love seeing even 1/4 of an inch off anything

I'll play. (When I remember. lol!) I take my measurements, but it's on the weekend and at home. I'm typically not on here on the weekends. I'll do my best!

I will try.

Chest:36.5

Not sure if I should add left calf+thigh and right bicep. I figured it'd be less time measuring and I'd get the jist when measuring the others. However, I'd celebrate more knowing I'm losing more!

I'm in if you don't mind that I typically measure on Tuesdays instead of Fridays!

From this past Tuesday:

Bust: 33.75
Biceps: 10
Waist: 28.75

Can you tell I hold all my weight in my lower half? I'm a size 4 on top and a 10/12 on the bottom.

Well I was logging these on the fitbit website but it just up and decided to go buggy so I suppose keeping a second record of these won't hurt. I only wish I would have taken these when I started though...

I'm happy that my thighs evened out. I just wish that my hips/waist would move too. I'm a little water-retainy today due to salty food yesterday. Maybe it'll clear up by next week.
