Weigh-in and Measure-in!
 

Hey everybody, since we all are so obsessed with the scale, let's see if we can use our measurements as another way to determine progress. Today I was telling someone in the chat room that my weight went up since this weekend (1-2lbs), but my measurements seem fine. She told me to focus on that for right now(thanks) so does anybody want to weigh-in AND measure-in on Fridays. Then we can compare weight loss with inches lost. I know we may not lose inches every week, but let's try it. If you want to join me, I'm starting this Friday! Good or Bad!:p (It'll be good!):cool: Good Luck!

I'm in! When I lost weight before, I kept track of inches as well- it's definitely a great motivator when the scale isn't budging. And it's cool to know just how much your body has shrank. :)

okay, i'll try. How do you measure your inches?? do you add up all the inches and stuff from say your arms, waist, hips, thighs, chest??? i'm not a very good judge of the old measureing tape. never sure if i pulled it tight the last time or if i held it just barely touching my skin. :?: but i am proud to report, i know i lost at least one and a half inches in my waist when i lost the 13 pounds.

lumifan I vary sometimes when I measure too, but I think the key is to measure at a place where you are in a resting position. For example, when measurin your waist, just lightly exhale and measure as close as you can to your skin without squeezing. Hope that helps--the blind leading the blind here:dizzy: !-Anyway, I'm gonna post all of my measurements separately until I reach a good enough total to tally em all up and make myself feel good!

I'd love to join in,but I am horrible at measuring & don't stick to it,sorry.

Uh Oh
 

It's almost Friday and I didn't lose anything yet. Hopefully the scale is nice to me by then, if not, maybe the tape measure will be!:o

i'm with you mia...i didn't lose but 2 1/2 pounds this month. i don't know why?? i am eating much less than when i started the diet at the beginning of january. i am excersizing and even only drink water. i don't know if i am doing anything wrong or if it will all happen in february. i hope so or i'll never reach my goal by july. i want to lose at least 30 pounds by january and i'm only down 2 1/2.

Susan, we posted on a weigh-in measure-in lumi made for 2-3-06!:dizzy:
