Before After

My Measurements

First I want to say that I have finally had time to upload my beginning photos on the site.  About time I know.  I wasn't going to post my measurements on here but I figured just watching the scale isn't all it will take to be motivated, because sometimes the weight don't come off but you will still lose inches and that is what I am most wanting.  The number on the scale doesn't mean as much to me as the number or letter in some cases on the clothes that I am putting on.

I have been through alot in the past month and was really suprised when I joined the Holiday Challenge (thanks Gwynn) that I have lost 11 pounds since starting.  I fractured my tailbone while at work and had pneumonia.  But through all of that and with God's strength behind me I have managed to not only go down 15 pounds since joining EP and 11 from the challenge I have also lost some inches.

My starting measurements and pictures were taking about a month ago.

Chest - starting: 49"  now 48.25"   lost: .75"                                                          Waist - starting: 47"  now: 45.25"  lost: 1.75"                                                         Hips   - Starting: 50.25"  now: 49.25"  lost: .75"

I know that it isn't much but it is a good start.  Total inches lost 3.25"   I can't wait to see what the results are at the end of the month.  I am finally off for a day at work and this up coming week I will not be working as many doubles.  I will still be working my 40 hours however the hours that I am scheduled, I will have more free time in the evening or early afternoon to get back into my hip hop abs routine.  I can't wait.  I love that routine, I have a lot of fun doing it.  Mostly because I love to dance and lost alot of weight previously when me and a friend was going dancing (singing karoake) 4 days a week.  So I am ready for that.. I have been putting off buying a Christmas outfit til a few more weeks, hoping that I can go down at least one pants size.  Wish me luck.

Good job!

Congrats on being the biggest loser this week!!  And on those inches gone!!  I am a big supporter of doing those, for all the times the scale will be slow to budge (if at all).  I have lost 66 (I think) inches so far.  I need to take this month's measurements before TOM shows up.

Have a great weekend!

hip hop abs

Yay! I am also doing the hip hop abs I am on day four of week 3  I am excited about loosing inches too.  I like seeing the results of it.  I have lost a total of 22.5 inches since I started I thought that was pretty exciting!  We should ad each other as friends because we are doing some similar things haha.
