So yesterday I posted a new pic. This morning my daughter was looking at all the pics on the camera and she says "Mom I dont like the shirt you had on yesterday. You need to take another pic for your page thing." After a short disagreements about it...she won. I let her take another pic of me today and I had to promise her I would post it. So just to make her happy I will be posting it later today...kids!
Now lets talk about measurements. I have said for some time now that the thing I regret the most is not taking my measurements along the way. I finally broke down last night and took some. Now TOM is in town and I dont know if the effects certain areas or not. I was suprised at the difference between my waist and my hips. There is a 12 inch difference! Gesh that seems like alot...doesnt it? Or is that normal? Well I looked around on the interent and found a size chart thingy. For a size 8 it says your Bust should be 36 inches, your Waist should be 28 inches and your Hips should be 39 1/2 inches. That isnt exactly what I am but we all know that different jean makers make thier jeans a bit differently. So anyway, I am a 36-29-41. Yes I said 41. That just seems like a HUGE number to me. I have always had big ole wide hips but dang. I guess since I have never taken my measurements before...ever...that maybe it just seems like a big number to me...I dont know. But I do know that I would like to lose some more inches.
And to answer someones question from yesterday...no I do not have a twin (lol). And when I started all this I was a size 22...well all my pants were that stretchy stuff so truth be told it was probly a size 24.
OK...I hope you all have a great weekend and I will talk to ya soon!

Great pic
I love the one from today better. You are skinny! Your hips look proportional with the rest of your body. They don't look big or anything. You are a fucking size 8! So obviously, your hips are just fine!
i have a quick ? didi youi have a csection with your kids if you did did u have problems with your lower belly hanging low lol if so what exercises have you done for your lower abdoman
That's Ok You could have considered yourself the HOTTIE of the two...LOL
Your measurements are fantastic. And you really do look great. I know what you mean by wishing you had done this before. I wish I had a true beginning weight and measurements. I was overweight before the digital camera area. LOL I ljust dated myself. And was at one point and time wearing a size 18, god only nows what my measurements and weight were at. My measurements are close to yours 35.5-30.5-38 and I can wear a size 8. Some size 6's Which is a first in my life time. Are you wearing your new shirts? NIce!
You look amazingly great! Btw... 41 is really good. When I weighed in at 212 in the begining my hip size was 47. Those hips dont come down easily especially when they protected a baby at one point in time. So that's extreemly good hip size.You come so far. I'd have a permanent smile on my face if I were you.
I'm hippy too......and I agree with daughter...this pic is better. When I saw the title of your blog I was thinking of one of the episodes of Band of Brothers.....we watch it often....long story.......my son who is in Iraq's fav DVD.
Are you wearing your new shirts? NIce!
You come so far. I'd have a permanent smile on my face if I were you.
