welcome peaches and Essa. Yeah you got to start somewhere Essa. Peaches, it is nice to have something to fall back on when the scale doesn't paint a pretty picture.

I'm joining too! I've been keeping my measurements a couple weeks and am due. I'll hopefully have time on Sunday for hubby to take mine, and I'll update then and will take them every single Sunday from now on!

I'm 5'5" and 161

sorry, it won't let me add it as an image in this post because I"m new :( have to wait

OK here goes...........
As of 7/1/10
Weight 182.4
Neck 14"
Full Chest 42"
Ribcage 36"
Waist 34"
Hips/Largest part of stomach 39.5"
Hips/Butt 42.25"
Thighs 25"
Calves 14.5"
Upper Arm 12"
Forearm 10"

woohoo! let's whittle those waist lines...and smooth the saddle bags. I see alot less back roll, i don't know how to take that into account except through pics. I think I will have to take some to motivate me too.

I've done my monthly weigh-in/measurements. Since May 1, I've lost 12 pounds, and:

• 1 inch from my waist
• 4 inches from my hips
• 1 inch from my bust (nothing from band)
• 2 inches from arms
• 1 inch from thigh

Here are my new measurements for today. Hooray for shrinking bust, hips and waist! It's so motivating to see this, especially since I gained about 6 lbs when I started working out!

i need to post my measurements, i might do it after TOM, or tomorrow--if i'm not too bloated. Oh, my Get into those shirts, girl--pics show how much i have shrank. I haven't lost alot of weight though--maybe 5 lbs since June, but those Shorts do fit alot better. The pics are from June to July--almost one month.

I tried taking my measurements last week, right before TOM, and I grew in almost every measurement. I decided to stop because I was so irritated! I'm still a little swollen from TOM, so I'm hoping I shrunk even more. I'm not even going to attempt to measure myself around TOM again! I would wait

Thanks, pink, it probably would just pee me off. I know my clothes are fitting better. So yeah, i'll wait.
