    OMG! My measurements...

    That got your attention didn't it?? LOL! I am begging all you newbies to please take your measurements. You won't be sorry if you do!

    Anyhow...I haven't measured since Dec 2 because I lost my sheet. So I found it and today I measured and I've lost a bit since then but I did something today that I have never done before and it floored me and I almost cried. You got to try this. It is so much different than 'seeing' it in your head!!

    Okay...take your tape measure and put it around what ever body part you want and then add back the inches of what you were there when you started. Slide your fingers up until you are there. See that space?? That is how much smaller you are!!!! OMG!! I lost 2 inches off my neck...I lost 7 inches off my bust...6 1/2 under my bust...8 off my waist and 10 off my hips!!!

    I knew I had lost 57 pounds and that I was smaller...but to see it in the space of that tape measure....unbelieveable!!!

                  When I want a reminder I go to the back of my wardrobe and get out my old trousers that I used to have trouble fitting into and put them on.....

                  One of these fine days I'll probably be able to get into 1 leg of them...

                      I did the same thing with an old pair of pants, it was so wierd to think that I used to wear those jeans to "pull myself in" when I was wearing a closer fitting top- because when I put them back on I couldn't, they kept falling down!

                              This was a great idea and worth bumping for some of us "losers" to try.
