Time for some measurement updates to hopefully give me more motivation since I didn't do well last week.
Area-- April 3, 2011 June 13, 2011 January 25, 2012 February 21, 2012
Bust---------------42--------------41---------------42-------------------41
Chest-------------------------------------------------34------------------33.5
Waist---------------37-------------35----------------35------------------33
Hips (abdomen)-45-------------41----------------42------------------40.5
Butt (hips) ---------45--------------44---------------44-------------------43
Thigh--------------26.5------------25.5--------------26-----------------25.5
Arm----------------12.5-----------12.5---------------12.5---------------13
So, I have lost a total of 11 inches since April of last year when I first started (had to add a half an inch for the arms...don't know what's going on there).
I lost 6 inches since I started up again in January. The biggest areas of loss are the waist and hips, which is great.
I am really starting to like the look of this, the trend is definitely heading in the right direction. This week I have been much more disciplined than last week in general. Hopefully I will see the results on the scale on Friday. 177 would be beautiful to see! I wonder if I have gained inches in my arm from muscle. I can see now that my arms and legs will be the last areas to lose inches of fat. Luckily they are not my problem areas.
In other good news I will be getting laser hair removal on my entire legs. It requires me to stop tanning my legs, but I can deal with one summer of pale white legs for a lifetime of highly reduced hair! The hair on my legs grows ridiculously fast. If it goes well I might consider getting my armpits done also. Ideally by the end of this summer I will almost be hairless on my legs and weigh considerably less! If I lose 4 pounds per month, I can lose 26 pounds by the end of the summer, putting me at 153. 4 pounds per month is pretty slow, but that tends to be the way I do it and at least it's healthy.
Time to go to the gym!
Edit: I just looked up my waist to height ratio, and apparently losing that inch put me in a healthy range for that! At least something about my body is considered healthy. I can't usually say that :) I also ordered a handheld body fat percentage calculator. It's time to look at other ways to determine my health besides weight.
