Steph, it;s gougeous! You look sensational. Can you do a standing one. We are the same height, and like you, I carry it all before me up top. I want to get down to 135-138, so would love to get an idea of what I might acheive.
Congratulations on those jeans, too, they are very loose looking!

Odille, just for you, of course lol. I think I'm a little shorter than you - your signature says you're 5'7", I'm 5'4" but here's a picture of me at 140lbs (as of yesterday!)
I know! It's so weird. I guess it's something we'll never know haha. I'll admit, it's dissapointing to step on the scale and see you are still at the same weight, because I think it's built into us that weight is everything. It's natural to think like that.
But I have to measure myself and remind myself that it's how my clothes fit and the inches that count, not the scale!
The reason that the scales don't change, yet the inches do is because Muscle weighs more than FAT. If you are exercising more, your body is building up some muscle, so the scales may actually weigh you more than you have been, but that muscle burns more FAT.
You look GREAT, I can actually tell a difference in your arms, waist and even the thighs. Keep up the great work, it looks good on you!!

I am doing a 1 month challenge (on my Wii Fit) of 10lbs (1 month will be 2/15/2009).
If I make small goals, maybe I can reach them!!
Measurements...What measurements, my tape measure has disappeared!!
Yes, I do understand why the scale doesnt move but the inches do, lol, I meant I didnt understand why we automatically assume that the reading on the scale is more important, and relevant, than the tape measure
I wouldn't worry about the bra showing. You look wonderful, you can really be proud of yourself. I must have got the heights 'arse up with care' as we say here.. If I look that good at 140 I'll be very satisfied! Thanks for posting it.

Excuse the fact that you can clearly see my bra shining through my shirt, but it's 2am and I just cant be bothered to fix the picture haha
And no, those aren't MY choco snaps in the corner haha.
