          Hi, I'm checking out your goal stats on the bottom of the page and where you state cheated like a madman your weight is 15 pounds heavier than your previous goal weight. Is this correct or a typo because according to the stats that means you gained 15 lbs in 3 days. Just curious because you may have erred in your calculations. Is that possible? No pun intended, I'm just being curious. God Bless,Joe

            That's awesome.....
            now if someone could show me how to measure my booty.
            I just wing it trying to imitate a seamstress.
            But I take my thigh measurement sitting down a) cuz it's easier and b) cuz it causes my jiggles to dangle and it's the dangles I would like to see gone! hehe.

                    Re: Measuring Inches

                    I am insane about tracking inches, and here is what worked for me.

                    Took a photograph (or you could make a drawing of yourself) and drew a line across each body part that I wanted to measure. Then, I always knew I was measuring the right area.

                    The areas I measure are:
                    Calves
                    Hips
                    Waist
                    Breast
                    Torso
                    Arms

                    When you track inches, it is AMAZING to see how much you can lose! Last time around with Atkins, I lost over 70 inches. Yes, you read right. I wore a size 0/2 wedding dress, and that was the biggest reward ever!
