Measure In

  • Hi - I can't do a weigh in, as I'm not weighing, so if you'll all indulge me, I thought I'd do a measure in, as I've taken my measurements this week after two weeks on the detox plan.

    So here goes:

    1" from bust
    2" from waist
    ½" from hips

    Which is fine, and I'm pleased to be losing inches of course BUT I am very pear shaped and really didn't need/want to lose anything off my meagre bust! And needed it most from my hips, but there we go, I'll never be straight no matter how much weight I lose, and will always be a size bigger below waist than above! It's coming off though and that's the main thing.

  • Well done MD! I didn't dare to measure myself at my worst, and find it hard to get a consitent measurement anyway. However, I bought a pair of size 14 trousers this week, the first time for ages. OK, so they're elasticated and it's a squeeze getting into them, but they're great when they're on. a real boost to the ego, and I can tell if I'm losing inches by how easy they are to get on!!
  • Wicked! Well done dotty! Don't worry about the pear thing, aparrently we lose from chest 1st, then abdomen, then hips & thighs! IT'S OUR HORMONES!!! Try telling that to the clothes shops though! WELL DONE!

    I think I've lost 1" from my tum recently....

    Well done Tai, size 14 is almost "normal" in my opinion! It's the average size in the UK, but I bet it's more like a 16!

    I only have one pair of size 14 trews but I love to be able to fit in them!
