Default Measurements

Today hubby suggested when I did my waist measurement that I leave the tape measure around me, but move it out to what my starting waist measurement was.

OMG - everyone should do this, especially if your motivation is starting to drop. I was amazed. It was the best way so far for me to see just how far I have come (and pretty scary).

I only had time to do my waist but I will do all of them and I will do them regularly in maintenance to remind myself of how big I will become again if I don't behave!!

Default Re: Measurements

haha, I did this recently too Jlou... after I watched a show with a pregnant woman in it, and her full-term waist measurement was smaller than my starting one. I was mortified. Then I did this, and I was like 'geez, I am small now' haha

Definately a motivation booster!

I just did this, with bust waist and hips.

Wow! I could fit several fat suits on top of me now and still fit into my old body!

I did this and I could stuff a pillow in between me and the tape measure. Go ME. You never really realise the changes until you can see the difference. I should have made a life size paper mache of me then I could make one each month and stick one inside the other for the next year

LOL
