Tape Measure Challenge

[Finelly]

Second Timers Alert! I am issuing a challenge to every single one of you!!!!!!!!

Let's all make a 2-week commitment to stay focussed on this woe and get some exercise in every day. At the end of the two weeks, we will measure to see how many inches have been lost! Forget the scale! You can check it if you want, but it doesn't count for the purposes of this challenge.

Here's what you do: Go to www.mybodycomp.com and set up a FREE account if you don't already have one. Go to the "My body" icon and start a chart of your measurements. The site will tell you exactly what to measure and how. Record the amounts. You do not need to share the measurements with us.

At the end of the two weeks, i.e. on Wednesday, July 20, we will all measure again and add up the inches lost!

I can guarantee that we will all be winners, but it will be fun to see how BIG of a loser each of us is!

I encourage everyone to do this with me. Especially those who feel like they aren't making progress right now due to slow or no changes on the scale!

Are you in?

Re: Tape Measure Challenge

Victorian - I assume you're on mybodycomp.com. Click on "my body" and it should be there........if not, pm me, I'll sign on to mine, and figure out what I do.

Debbie - we SHOULD make this ongoing!

Nikki - I just lost 16 inches in 2 weeks. Last time around, I saw major changes every time I measured, which was every 14 days! SO much more than the scale showed! That's why this is so cool!

Re: Tape Measure Challenge

Alright... add me to the challenge! You'll all laugh so i have to share... i signed up at mybodycomp.com and somehow everything was recording in kg and such and i ended up with a BMI of 631... now, i am horrible at math, and i know i have a weight problem, but really...

So i then figured out how to switch it to pounds, not kilos. Ha ha ha... stupid American girl!

Too funny! Can I tell you the number of times I've put CUPS of parmesan cheese in fitday.com instead of tablespoons?

Re: Tape Measure Challenge

I'm in too - I set up an account there several weeks ago so I'll update my stats as of this morning. Looking forward to all of us being losers!

Re: Tape Measure Challenge

I started an account there last week, entered my stuff, then it disapeared, will try again and maybe I have to hit save somewhere. Gonna go do that now! I'm IN! Lost 3 pounds last night WooHOO! 1/2 lb away from the 10 pound lost mark, took almost a whole month to lose it though.

Re: Tape Measure Challenge

I measured! I am set to go!

I also had my monthly measure and weigh in at Curves last week. Even though I lost no weight, I lost 2 inches.

And off topic, but I need to share...I finally lost 1 more pound this morning. WOO HOO!
