Okay here are the numbers for the measurements for the month of November:
Neck-14 1/2-no change
Breast-40 1/2-no change
Waist-35 1/2-no change
Tummy-37 1/2-down 1/2
Hips-40 1/2-down 1/2
Thigh-21 1/2-no change
Knee-15 1/2-no change
Bicep-13-no change
Total change in my body since last measurements down 1 inch...since ending Slim in 6 challenge, down 1 inch. I suppose that I should look at the overall picture which is this:
dates............(4/10/10)........................Today
Neck.............16 1/2...........................14 1/2-down 2
Breast...........49...............................40 1/2-down 8 1/2
Waist............42 1/2...........................35 1/2-down 7
Tummy............47 1/4...........................37 1/2-down 9 3/4
Hips.............46 3/4...........................40 1/2-down 6 1/4
Thigh............25 1/2...........................21 1/2-down 4
Knee.............18 1/2...........................15 1/2-down 3
Bicep............15 1/4...........................13 0 0-down 2 1/4
Total loss in inches since April 10th (7 months, 3 weeks):
42 3/4 inches
Since that date I have lost 37 pounds, which means I had already lost 33 pounds before I took the first set of measurements. Lord, I wish I had done starting measurements.
Okay, so I am not moving much right now, but it has been a very successful year as far as my weight loss goals go, and I need to quit being such a whiney butt!
I will get there, it just is going to take time, and I must not lose site of my goal, get frustrated with the rate of loss, or set any arbitrary dates for completion, since there is no finish line, this is for life, not for just a few months. I can do this with God's help, and I will!

too bad you didn't take you measurments in the beginning it would have been super awesome to see how much you have actually lost! Keep up the good work.

FOUR inches off your thighs??!! Wow! I know you like skirts but I'm betting you're now liking shorts and pants a whole lot more! Good for you.

I love how you say "there is no finish line, this is for life." That is a great motto, my friend. You have done oustanding and you have the best attitude to keep it going, like you say, FOR LIFE. You have worked hard and should celebrate, even if just 1 inch. It is 1 more inch to add to your list of successes. You rock!

Yes,weight loss slows down and its frustrating and this is the reason why I gave up the diet so many time before.But if we sustain it ,it will still progress in tiny little bits,atleast we don't gain.And you reminded me that I should take measurements too :) Have a nice day.

I know pixi, I sure do wish I had too, but at that point I was simply too embarassed at myself, and had no wish to see those numbers. Thanks!

Thanks, Sandy, and yes I am wearing more pants! I still love my skirts, but they aren't very practical in the cold weather! lol

Holly, I just need to keep reminding myself of that! I always think "I just want to be done." but there is no done. There is only maintainting! And yes, I will celebrate my ONE INCH, as it is one less that I need to lose!

Terrific, Stef! You have every reason to be proud. Here's a neat quote for you to remember: "Work as it all depends on you; Pray as if it all depends on God" ~ Mark Twain.
