Paula! I really really disagree with your measurements LOL...I just don't see that many inches, I don't believe them is yours in centimeters? NO WAY Do I believe your thighs are 53 inches! Are you measuring them separately? I'm so confused

Oh! Thanks for the clarification and for the welcome.

Yay on OWL!! I didn't progress through the rungs properly the first time, and I am really enjoying doing it this time around. My losses actually picked up when I started OWL, so good luck to you. You are going to do great.

YAYYYYYYYY Mitzi! Sorry about my brainfart, I must have typed .com rather than .net? Good thing Disco is here to crack the whip.

Mitzi, I agree, you CAN do both. Pick a number that will be challenging but not overly daunting. In fact, knowing that you are searching for your CCLL, I have the utmost respect for you, joining this! But you are doing OWL wisely, slowly, and safely, and I have no doubts that you will continue to lose throughout this challenge.

Heheheh, I guess I should have just posted the measurement for one thigh, huh? They are 26.5 inches each, so I just doubled the number. I guess it really wasn't neccessary, was it?

ROFLMAO! UR TOOOO SILLY!

or is it me silly? I just measure my larger side only, never have i measured both arms or thighs....

Lord, no, Paula -- NONE of us needs to double our thigh measurement!

Mitzi, I'm glad you're joining us. I think you have a great attitidue about your Atkins journey. Just consider this a friendly little rally to encourage one another. If you make your 8 pounds, great -- if not, you'll still no doubt see great progress and have fun along the way.

Paula, you are so pretty -- you have such a nice face, smooth pretty skin, and great hair. And you already have a nice figure -- shapely with defined curves. Losing more weight will only enhance it! I swear, the way you talked, I thought you might have a hiddeous scar and 3 eyes, and be snaggle-toothed. You are already beautiful, girl -- and I'm NOT just blowing sunshine....

Julie, I don't want to be known as the ADBB chicken sh!t, so here I go:



I have a pic of me wearing a tight top and shorts but can't bring myself to post it yet. If I get really good results when it's over, I may post it.

I weigh 212 and wear a size 18 jeans and an XL top. I would like to lose 13lbs and be in Onderland.

Here's my measurements:

Neck - 14.5
Chest (above bust) - 42
Bust - 47
Under bust - 39.5
Waist - 41.5
Thighs - 53
Calves - 31
Upper Arms - 28.5
Forearms - 21

Heheh, I just noticed that my shirt has wet spots on it. Oops!

Okay, I was thinking I should add total inches instead of one thigh/arm because I'll be counting total inches lost. I'm going to leave it as it is unless Julie tells me otherwise because it's the way I have it written in my notebook.

OMG Adena!


Oh, and I have four eyes, in case you didn't notice!

Paula, I'll let you do it any way that you want. The only thing I would advise is that you use one leg and one arm measurements if you're using fittogether.net...otherwise it's going to tell you that you have 85% body fat or something. But if you're just doing your measurements on your own, more power to you! Just warn us old biddies first. I really thought I needed new glasses when you said your thigh was 53 inches...

My daughter took these of me tonight, at 159 lbs, size 14 (still stuffed in them). This is after 13 lbs lost during induction.

My size before pregnancy was a 6, 140 lbs (3 yrs ago), I hope to at least get into a 10 some day. Still haven't thrown all the size 6's out yet. 90 % of my weight is in my backside, hips and thighs... I was too chicken to do a rear pic, or a bikini pic. Measurements are......
waist 38.5"
chest 39.8"
under chest 33"
thigh 25.2"
arm 12"
largest part of body(backside)....43" YIKES

Hi Paula gorgeous girl! You look fab in your photo. Love your hair colour - strawberry blonde! DBF has the same colouring. Foxy I call him!
I'm so glad you were brave enough to post a pic. I understand the courage it took, cos I still can't believe I did it yesterday!

Michelle, love your pics too. You look amazing in that 14 teeshirt. You don't look like you need to loose much at all!

I'm so buzzed about this challenge now. So many friends all doing it together. I've a feeling that this thread will be the place to be for the next couple of weeks!
