I never took measurements of my shoulders, but hubby said that my upper arms at my shoulders are more level and smoother looking. I may have to add that one along with my butt, I have never measured it either. He said my butt is less wide and not as flat across as it was.....IDK if that is a complement or not ?!?! I told him it was kinda weird having him watch me measure myself, but he is trying to help! Gotta give him creds for his support! 😍😍

Total measured inches lost this week is 5.
Total over-all for the past 8 weeks is Weight - 32 lbs and inches are - 57.5
BMI - from 51.12 down to 45.61
Current Body fat % (estimated) 64%

Still have a long ways to go, I am fairly certain that a lot of this loss is a reduction in inflammation and swelling. I am becoming stronger...I carried groceries up the steps yesterday and did not have to pull myself up with one hand, had groceries in both hands....that is awesome! I'm running behind, did my AG1 but have not eaten yet....we were hunting for a pencil with an eraser, took an hour to find one, it's amazing how one little item can cause you to delay your entire day!!!! Ya'll have a great Day. Be kind to yourself and your loved ones!
