Tape Measure Challenge Results: Tuesday

[knicknack]

Guess I"ll go first:

I've lost 5.5 inches in two weeks according to mybodycomp.com.

HOWEVER, I"m getting TOM soon and I've actually gained in the chest, waist, abdomen, and hips since last week, so I expect those to go down in the next few days. So, it should be more! (Guess I know where I retain water, eh?) I also gained a pound since last Friday.

If I used last weeks measurements for those I get 7.5 inches lost.

Re: Tape Measure Challenge Results: Tuesday

Those were good reading considering TOM is pending for you Knick. I would take them again at the end of the week. Then you will know what you tend to average at this time of the month.

TOM is expected for me in 3 or 4 days. I dont feel any particular bloating yet.

My measurements are for one month.

Total lost: 8.5"
underarm: down 3.5
breast: down 1.5
bra band: down .75
waist: down 1.75
hips: down 1.00

Not as much as I hoped. And not nearly as much as the first time. I may also now be a slow loser. But a loser is better than a gainer! I didnt begin to exercise at first then spent a good week doing nothing because of the back thing. My exercise then has consisted of walking either the 1 mile WATP or the 2 mile one. I will bump up the walking. Im going to concentrate on walking more and improving there. Cardio worked best for me last time and made me feel the best. I will eventually get back to the gym exercising, but for now I just want to burn calories and increase my stamina.

Re: Tape Measure Challenge Results: Tuesday

Wow ~ i am down a total of 17 inches all over! I can't believe it!!!

It's lot's of little changes mostly... one inch here and there (e.g. neck, calf, thighs, arms) and two inches here and there (e.g. shoulders, chest, waist, hips, etc.) But it all adds up! I even lost half an inch in my wrists and ankles! Woo hoo!

But i'm only down a total of 3 pounds in two weeks. Is that possible?

Re: Tape Measure Challenge Results: Tuesday

It is ENTIRELY possible to lose only a pound or two but lose a ton of inches! That is exactly why I started this Tape Measure Challenge - because so many people weren't really understanding the lack of relationship between the scale and fat loss!!!!

I lost another 7 inches the last 2 weeks, making a grand total of 23.5 inches so far. I'm very pleased!

Isn't this AMAZING?

Re: Tape Measure Challenge Results: Tuesday

Wow ~ that is awesome!!! I think this measuring challenge is a great idea. It is nice to see a big change, even if it isn't on the scale. We are all doing so good!

Oops forgot to measure, K I'm gonna go for an hour long walk right now, then I will come back and measure myself. I already ate a couple of egg muffins (drat) I like to weigh and measure on an empty stomach.
