Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Here with my measurements and goal

Weight today 155
Bust 41
Waist (or lack of) 36
Hips 41
Arms 14 1/2
Thighs 22 1/2

As you can see belly and arms are problem spots for me. As far as setting a goal I don't know what to aim for. January 2007 I was 154 today I am 155 I feel like I did what I thought right throughout 2007 and basically bounced up and down over the same 6 lbs. so don't know what I can do different this time to change things.
Do I really need a goal weight?

hmm... have you tried to suss out whats stalling you? ive been pretty much stalled out for a few months so ive gone down to induction and im gonna re-do all the rungs to try and find that something that seemed to be okay at first, but now isnt...

have you set your GW as to low or is that weight definitely there to be lost?

want to give inches lost as a goal instead? at least thats something you can work on with exercise.

I have started back with induction (and sitting here with a killer induction headache) to try to get things going again. As you can see from my measurements 41-36-41, 5 inches off the waist would be wonderful but I know impossible so for goal lets go with 2 inches off the waist and a 5lb. (reasonable .5 a week loss) on the weight.

So I guess 150 as goal weight. Will that work?

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Miss Emma -- I forgot to weigh this morning, and no pictures yet either (my house has been in major disarray because we are having our floors refinished).

Can I report my starting weight, measurements, and photo tomorrow? Sorry -- I know it's not like you didn't give us PLENTY of warning!

[*Emma*]

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

seeing as its you Adena!

we're in the same boat then Atkid, yep those goals are fine!

[Adena]

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

Aww, thanks Em. Is that like when you go to a used car dealership, and they make a "great deal -- just for me?" I'll report in tomorrow, I promise.

Re: *~A New Year, A New You~*

I weighed in at 246 today, my target is to be 215 by the end of March. It will be a real challenge, as we are going on a cruise the beginning of March,vacationing for just about 2 weeks. I've done it before, I can do it again!

WARNING!!! VIEWING THE PICTURES BELOW MAY RESULT IN BLINDNESS, UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHTER, IMPOTENCE AND/OR NIGHTMARES. VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK






Well, there are my LOVELY--NOT!! pictures taken this morning. Actually, they are even WORSE than I thought they would be. However, I am now more motivated than ever to succeed.

My starting weight for the challenge is 203 lbs.

Starting measurements:

Nip: 42.5
Chest: 37
Waist: 36.5
Hip: 46.5
Low Hip/Butt: 44
Upper thigh: 25
Upper arm: 15
Calf: 16

(I should note that today is the first time I measured since the end of induction 3 weeks ago. I have lost a total of 19.75 inches since my start date 12/01/07 which is of little comfort to me while looking at these pictures.)

My goal weight for the end of the challenge in 11 weeks is 180 pounds which will be a loss of 23 pounts and put me at a total loss of 40 pounds. I will reach this goal and my bathing suit will look better than this.

This is gonna be a GREAT challenge and we are all going to exceed our goals!!!
