Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Good morning my lovelies! My pants feel extra big this morning! That and it's Friday and it's payday. . . . I'm a happy camper!

BJS - I am so sorry about your puppy. I know how difficult that is and you have my deepest sympathies.

Sarah - Happy Birthday to your son!!!! Regarding salt, have you tried NuSalt? It's a salt alternative made from potassium. I got the tip from Sugar Free Sheila's website. I've found it really helps me to avoid the ankle bloat I get when I eat salt!!

Everyone else - good morning!!!!

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Thanks Silly - I didn't measure this time. Dear BF measured me, I think it was a little more accurate. At least it was easier!

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

K I decided to change it Up a bit for myself Cause I haven't basically lost in 6 months so here I am I am gunna drop my fat ratios up my protein rations and also add a bit more carbs back in the form of low G as according to Dr A. I have to try something who knows I got to tweak and see where it goes. bsaically I will up my veggies and my Low G fruit and berries Drop the fat some I ahve been really eating a lot of Mayo I don't need to and Up my protein an bit to get it in the 40% range.

We'll see how it goes and see how my body responds

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Ok, here's my official measurements as supervised by DH just now.
Goal: 1" from each and maybe more hip would be kinda cool too

May 18th June 18th

Chest 34 Chest 35 (huh?)
Boobs 37 Boobs 37 Same
Ribcage 33 Ribcage 33 Same
Waist 32 Waist 31 -1"
Hips 40 Hips 39 -1" (Thank you very much!)
Thighs 22 Thighs 20 -2"
Bicep 11.5 and mushy! Bicep 11 -.5 and still mushy

Well, considering I am UP ONE POUND TODAY (not changing ticker) I actually lost inches since Mother's Day. So, that makes me feel really great and there's the proof, that sticking to this WOE you can lose inches even if you're not losing poundage. Hallelujah!
