Other Measurements

What are the other ways you measure your progress? I loved the first time I wrapped up in a normal bath towel. Also I think I can ALMOST see collar bone! So how about you??

Hey Starr

I always measure progress by my jeans.. and when my dh starts making comments about the fact that I have lost weight.. my face looks skinnier.. calls me skinny etc.. I know it's starting to work!!! Even though I know I am FAR from skinny.. the comments still help keep me on track!!!

Re: Other Measurements

the sides of my butt don't touch the sides of the bath tub anymore. How amazing that is. Also, of course measuring tape!

Re: Other Measurements

i can put my socks on standing up.......the notches in my belt buckle.....the seatbelt in the car is easier to get on.........the computer chair in the basement is not as tight a fit as it used to be........compliments at work........my wife is all of a sudden putting her hands on me more often

Re: Other Measurements

i try on clothes over and over and see how much better they fit/easier they zip up/etc.

Re: Other Measurements

For me...so far.. Fitting in the movie theater seat without having to put up the arms... Clothes fitting 2 sizes smaller... needing new underwear 3 sizes smaller Crossing my legs more and more...

Goals I am working on...Being able to wrap that Beach towel around me...(its getting there), Then of course a regular towel... Being able to sit in the chairs that we have at my daughters dance class..they are the white plastic ones that are for outdoors.. I have to sit on the tiny couches made for 3 year olds.

Re: Other Measurements

I had bought DH a pair of sweat pants. They were a bit to big for him...yep he's a slim one. Anyway for #$%* & giggles I decided to try them on. THEY FIT & EVEN HAD A BIT OF EXTRA ROOM IN THE WAIST!!! His loss & my gain.

Better fit in an airplane seat was the other biggie for me.

Re: Other Measurements

I like to look at my back/shoulders in the mirror- I used to have 2 rolls and now I have one. I also measure the pinch in my belly flab at my hip it used to be about 3 inches and now it is about 1.5- I also use the tape and the scale....

This made me smile thinking of the extra attention I'm getting from my hubby. But I measure with my tape measure and clothes....same old same old.

Re: Other Measurements

I'm pretty lucky that I don't have roles - but my butt gets large and I bulge at on my rear-hips. Anyway... I love it when I can put my hands on my hips and feel that the bulge is getting less-bulgey! I also love finding that I have to sinch my belt tighter (which I have to do now... down two holes on my belt!). It's great when my knees hurt less and I can climb the stairs without discomfort. My favourite is seeing the loss of weight in my face.
