look at that forearm shrink! and so is the waist. now for someone only watching the scale, they would have never picked up on that.

My measurements are due today, i am a little bloated around my waist...but I will still do it...and note that I am ovulating and usually get bloated during that time.

I have been gardening for my exercise, so I hope that pays off!

Cleanse? As in fruit and veggie cleanse? No. I feel like I'm eating pretty clean already so I don't feel the need. I eat as clean as I can in our highly processed world and I exercise like a madwoman. :dizzy: I'm enjoying it, really!

I've only recently moved from weekly weigh-ins to monthly weigh/measure. I only have my baseline measurements from May 1. When I get to June, I'll post the difference.

i put on 2 size 12 items today. They are tight but i got in them...now I want to see them get loose.

ok, where are the ladies that joined in here with me....

still eating clean...i think i have seen some weight loss too because right before tom i was 188. i usually am 5 lbs down. That's great...i can't wait for the bloat to go away because I can't wait to take my measurements again.

how is everyone doing?? did you go back to being ruled by the scale or are you still noticing the changes in the way your clothes fit...in another week I will post my progress.

I'm gonna jump in on this cause the scale is pissing me off, so I'm gonna focus on inches for a little bit.

Waist at bend: 36
Chest at ribs: 39
Upper Arm: 18
Thigh: 29
Neck: 14 inches
