Okay so I usually have very little will power (okay, no will power) to not use my measuring tape.
Today I did, for the first time since March 13. I've lost about 8-9lbs since then.

As you'll see, I measure my belly in about 4 places. I had a baby in December, so that's why. I have a "c section pooch" I'm getting rid of lol.

No change-

Neck (despite losing 54lbs, it's apparent I do not carry weight in my neck, it's only gone down .5 inches the whole time lol)
Hips (boo!!)
Thigh L
Calves R and L


Changes-

Arm R (-.5in) L (-.25in)
Bust (-1.25in)
Below Boobs (-1.25in)
Waist-Smallest Part (-1.25in)
Belly Button (-2.75in)
C Section Pooch (-1.25in)
Thigh R (-.5in)

So I lost a total of 9 inches in just over 3.5 weeks!!!!!

I'm definitely waiting another month to measure lol.

    GOod call on waiting.
    I'm glad you've made some good progress.
    A lot of people get caught up in numbers and it turns into bad news. I haven't measure for a couple months now and am thinking about it to see what progress I've made. Can't wait to look at my old numbers and see what changed. I prefer doing it this way than measuring once a week and obssessing.
