I'm in too! I'll take my measurements tonight and post. I have no idea what a good challenging but still realistic goal is though. I'm 5'11" and need to lose 20-30lbs. Any insight?0

This looks fun! I'll get my measurements in tomorrow. Where do you guys measure the chest, on top of the girls or just under them? And any advice how to determine a realistic a goal amount of inches to lose?
You measure across the largest point. This should be across the nipples.
Most people last month set a base goal of 5 inches. It really depends on how much you have to loose and how hard you plan on working. Some people in the challenge last month lost 1 inch and the highest I think was just over 10 inches. Have either of you ever kept track of your inches before?0 -

I was having issue with the goal too. I think I'm going to try on some clothes that don't fit anymore and try to estimate how many inches would get me back into them.0 -
@zji8bek: That's a good idea! I think I'll do the same.
@bmfrazie: I've been tracking some basic measurements but it has just been within these couple pounds I've been stuck on. So I generally know where I lose first but not how quickly I can get them off! :laugh: Since I've got the exercise under control I'm now starting to crack down on the diet part for this next month. I've basically been feeding my muscles all this time so although I've had visible toning I haven't had recent weight/inch losses.0 -
I'd like to join this challenge! Thanks for organizing it! I'll post my measurements tomorrow.0

The only thing I care about is that are measuring the same every week. If you rather measure your way that is fine by me but you need to keep it the same. Let me know if you change the number or stay the same.0 -

I usually loose about .5" to 1" off *each* area I measure every 2 wks (depending on how dedicated I am to my workouts, ha ha)
So before I was measuring 5 areas (legs, waist, hips, arms, neck) & loosing about 5inches _overall_ every 2 wks.
So I put my goal as 8inches for this month

My apologies, I completely misunderstood.
Is it easier for you if I just leave it, or do you want me to remeasure? :ohwell:0 -

It actually doesn't make a difference either way to me as long as I have the correct numbers down for July 1st.0 -

I need starting measurements and then measurements every Monday. It is up to you if you want to give them to me now or if you want to do it on Friday. I just do not add anyone to the spreadsheet until I have your numbers. I do ask though that I have numbers from EVERYONE by midnight on July 1st.0 -
