I haven't done anything in the past 2 weeks.......... :no :sadblinky :anger

I just moved to a new complex and I've been soooooo busy for the past 2 weeks. The good thing is that the new complex that I moved to has a gym and it's FREE. So I'm going to quit my gym membership and do it ALL at home. I'm going to continue with the 1 hour of treadmill each day and pilates 3-4 times a week. I have lost 2 inches so my waist is now a 29 and my abdomen i'm not too sure of. Congratulations on eveyone else's loss. We can make these bellies be gone!!! :joy :hug :icondance

Well, check in day is here again. I've been doing my treadmill lots, as well as crunches and squats and stuff.

Waist 34
Abdomen 37

No change in my weight, but I'm gaining muscle. I noticed my thighs went up half an inch. I can feel the hard muscle underneath, not exactly what I want but oh well! Hope you all are doing well!

**easytoplease** · July 30, 2004, 04:35 PM

i think that the measurements are probably off, so i'll probably need to make some adjustments.

where do you measure your abdomen, anyway? i had an idea, but i'm not sure if i'm right.

**carebear** · July 30, 2004, 08:53 PM

Okay.......I'm 2 days late checking in.....got busy since school's starting again and I'm back at work full-time. AND all the welcome back activities got me off the WOL for a day or two---but I'm back on today....except for one little candy bar this morning........

waist: 33" YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 inch, finally!!!!!!!!!!

abdomen: 38" Every little bit counts, I guess......1/2 inch!

THANKS!! :wave

**Sharni** · July 31, 2004, 06:27 AM

Great going CAREBEAR !!!!! 1/2 and inch is a difference!!

**blackinese22f_edm** · August 1, 2004, 08:42 AM

I'm here I'm here!!

Finally, I'm back lol. My net gives me probs sometimes, plus i've been away for a few days, But I did get my measurements done!! I'm lost 2 inches off my waist. which brings me from 45" to 43". I know my waist is pretty darn thick, and I really need to work on it. Due to see my bf in December and I really want to shock his hair to a shade somewhere near neon pink!! lol :yikes

Now for the moment of truth:
6/30 7/30 Lost
Bust 48 45.5 -2.5
Waist 45 43 -2
Abs 48 45 -2
Hips 47.5 36.75 -.75
Arms 15 14.75 -.5
Weight:238 224.25 -13.75
BF% 39.4 38.3 -1.1

Is it to late to join this challenge? I go to the gym regularly, but I only started 3 weeks ago. I used to be an avid gym attender b4. Had an accident and could not work out for well over a year. But I am making a comeback!! I freaked out when I got my measurements done at the gym, i had a waist like of 38" and a buddha belly of 45"!!! This challenge seems like my kind of challenge and I'd love to join. So I am hoping its not to late now. :help

Blackinese, sweetie... I was a little confused about your stats. I didn't want to mistakenly post the wrong thing for u, so let me know which ones are right. this that u posted a while back, or the ones you recently posted? let me know, doll... and I'll fix them. :yes

**easytoplease** · August 2, 2004, 10:21 PM
