  • Down 19.75 inches for the month!

    I had to share this. Today was weigh in day at Curves for me. I've been avoiding the scale since boot camp because I wasn't losing pounds, yet I knew I was losing inches. Clothes are fitting now that didn't fit until I was 220 last time.

    Since March 4th I've lost 6.5 pounds (most of it in boot camp!) but inch-wise I've lost a whopping 19.75 inches. I knew the inches were rolling off, I've been measuring weekly, but I haven't been adding week to week.. I just see, oh great, down this many from last week! Also, I'm getting a waist, my middle is pinching in and wonder of wonders, even when I was a teen I had no freaking waist! The breakdown was:

    Bust: down 3.5 inches
    Waist: down 1.5 inches
    Abdomen: down 10.25 inches (she remeasured three times, not an error LOL)
    Hips: down 1.5 inches
    Thighs: down .5 inches
    Arms: down 2.5 inches

    Body fat down .4 %
    Pounds lost 6.5
    Body fat pounds lost 4.13 (Now I should have asked about that ... what was the rest lost? Muscles? Water?)

    I'm just so pleased. I've had back problems this past month (it's much better now) that made it difficult to work out daily and I was a little down since the scales weren't moving the way they had been, but dang.. I'll take the inches! :joy

          The inches is what people notice - not the weight :joy :joy
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
