Julie, can you send me the IMG code for the graphic, I'm on a Mac
so I can't right click. Thanks

Hi Cher,

Julie you look fab! Love the bikini - love the fact that you have shrunk so much since the last bikini pics you took. Check out that 30" waist! Also, your arms have definetly gotten smaller! You look brilliant. Can't imagine how you'll look by the end of the challenge!

3 things I like about myself:

1. I'm smart. Working on a doctorate full time as well come Fall.
2. I'm honest. Sometimes to a fault...er, often to a fault.
3. I have a great work ethic. I lost 45 pounds 6 years ago and most of it's still off...most of it!

Hey!

I have a quick question - the way that the fittogether site instructs you to measure the chest is "just above the nipples". I have always measured my chest around the largest part (which includes my nipples! )

Where did you all measure your chest - above your boobs against your chest part or around your boobs at the biggest part?

I'm getting my photos downloaded and will be posting all of my info soon. I've got to get my bike ride in first before it rains.

Thanks!

Hi Julie,

2) I work at something until a solution is found
3) I have nice boobs

Lol, I'll my my trumpet away now...

Will take photos tonight! And measure

Julie, you look awesome, I'd trade backsides with you any day. All of you have convinced me to do the bikini pics...will do today sometime.....very scared indeed.

Thats great Michelle. Good for you!

Mitzi, I dont use that site, maybe I should. I always measure my boobs in two places. One under my boobs and one around the fullest part, which means over the nipples too!

I would go ahead and do what you've always done.

Ok Julie & Girls.....I'm IN!

This looks like a great group to do a challenge with. I'm excited. I was apprehensive about committing to another challenge, but I couldn't resist. Looks like you are all having way too much fun and I don't wanna miss out.

So, I will be posting measurments....and maybe even a picture, later tonight or in the morning....if I can figure out how to do that!

to you ALL!

These starting measurements are from the first of July. Pretty safe bet nothing has changed (except for weight going up) because my "official re-induction" hasn't been clean yet.

Measurements (Editted in a few more measurements 7-5-07):
Weight: 247.5
Neck: 16.5 (Just above swelling)
Upper chest: 46
Bust: 51
Ribcage: 43
Waist, narrowest part: 49
Hips, widest part: 57
Thigh, about 3 inches down from crotch: R 30 L 30.5
Knee R 16.5 L 17.5
Calf R 19 L 20
Ankle R 11 L 12
Bicep, midway between shoulder and elbow: R 42 L 42
Lower arm: R 11.5 L 12
Wrist R and L each 12

When my sister comes over here to take pictures, I'll brave one and put it in this post.

Here we go...No guts, no glory...








247.5 Post-surgery. The swelling in the neck is visible in the sideview.

Can I still join? If it's not too late, I will get my measurements today and try to get a picture taken tonight when my boyfriend is home. This is my first attempt to join a challenge, so don't know how this all works exactly. Is this the only thread we will post on, or do you start new threads as time goes on? I would like to sign up to lose 10 pounds.

Ann, welcome aboard! You will post everything to this thread--beginning pics and measurements, and weekly updates. The challenge starts tomorrow and ends September 3, so it's roughly 2 months long.
