My Official Updated Measurements

Options
I know this out of the ordinary what I am now going to share..............but I am so excited about my progress I just want to share it with people that understand my excitement without feeling pitty on me or asking me the stupid question "How could you let yourself get so badly out of shape" Only a person that doesn't experience the difficulty of being overweight and the struggles an overweight person goes thru would say something STUPID like that.....you know I have always been told that there is no such thing as a stupid question......well that one was [How could you let yourself get so badly out of shape?]

Well this is what I wanted to share and in advance I wanted everyone to know I lost inches and pounds because of all the help and support I get from MY FITNESS PAL..........

here we go......... I went to the doctor this past monday 2/16/09 and got weighed and measured.... I was only counting the weight loss from when I started myfitnesspal back in September 9, 2008....so the weight lose according to my records is 66 pounds.........but my doctor went further back to July 2008 and he says I lost 86 pounds......... but I was only going to go by the start date of joining My Fitness Pal.......... but when I updated my profile on weight and inches lost, it changed my "ticker" I didn't want to include what my doctor said I lost....I wanted it to start when I started " My Fitness Pal" because that is when I got my first official measurements in inches.....I tried to change it back, but it kept the doctor's findings........and also, it changed my calorie intake.... i was originally on a 1600 calorie diet and now it says I am on a 1320 calorie diet.........I WANT to stay on the 1600 calorie diet but MFP is not letting me keep that......it wants me on a 1320 which is not a good diet for me ......... what to do :ohwell: ...................anyway, here it goes :blushing: :happy:

Since September 9, 2008 I have Lost:

3 /2" in my double chin {almost gone now}
2" in my neck
7" R upper arm
5 1/2" in L upper arm
12" Waist
