Well today was weigh in day and although WW has me down 1.4 lbs when I was up 1.6 last week I am now still playing catch up. I was up about a pound from my earlier post this week when I was super excited to see the scale finally move. Then this morning I get up and am frustrated that the scale has moved back. Especially after all that sweating I did yesterday. I feel on the verge of a break through, like one day soon my body is going to drop like 5 lbs but for now I am on my slow path. I am burning much more calories than I am consuming but it is almost that time of the month and I am bloated, I know because my ring is to tight today. Anyways, so in the midst of my frustration with my weigh loss only averaging 1.1 pounds a week. I remembered my DH commenting on how he can feel that I've lost weight when he hugs me and when he is checking out my butt in my work out pants he says it is firmer and lifted. So I think to my self there has to be more to this than just slow weight loss. There has to be a difference. After all 3 lbs of muscle takes up less space than 3 lbs of fat.
I decided to take my measurements again. Here are my original measurements posted (
HERE). And I am down 7.25 inches. Now losing and inch a week to me is way more exciting that a stupid pound a week. Here are my measurements as they stand today. Again all these taken at the larges part of these body sections. Waist is not at the true waist line but my belly button.
R Bicep 14 (down .25)
L Bicep 14 (down .50)
Chest 46 (down 1 inch)
Tummy 48.25 (down 1.75 inches)
Hips 47 (down 1.5)
R Thigh 24.75 (down .25)
L Thigh 24 (down .75)
R Calf 14.5 (down .75)
L Calf 14.75 (down .5)
Total Loss 7.25 inches
Now this is such a great example of why it is important to take your measurements at the beginning. So when the scale isn't moving and yet you are working towards your goal daily you can see the change is happening and for me it is the proof that I needed to say HECK YES! Lets keep this going!!
