Hey everyone! Thought of the idea today. What about doing a measurements page where we could show our progress in loss of measurements! Sometimes that happens when there is no weight loss!!

    I really like this idea (especially since I am hoping to see smaller upper arms!)

    This website has great tips on how to get accurate measurements and has pictures to show you what is "right" when placing the measuring tape.

    Alright well I'll be the first. Since I've been measuring myself from the beginning, I'd like to show my progress!
    In inches:
    Starting Measurements (8/2013), Today, Total Loss
    Neck: 15, 15, 0
    Waist: 42.5, 40, 2.5
    Hips: 52.5, 50, 2.5
    Thigh: 26, 24, 2
    Calf: 19, 18, 1
    Bicep: 16, 15.5, 0.5
    Chest: 50, 47.5, 2.5

    Wow, hadn't done this in a while!! I knew I had lost a good amount of inches in my thighs from the way my paints fit, but wow! 2 from my thighs, that usually takes me a lot longer than it has this time. Thank you recumbent bike!
