The Measuring Tape doesn't lie!

When I signed up here in August my measurements were as follows:
Left Thigh: 26 1/2 inches
Right Thigh: 26 1/2 inches
HIps; 43 3/4 in
Waist (sucking in the gut): 35 1/2in
Chest: 38 3/4 in
Now in the meantime I've been very lacks in my keeping up with my food diary and my excersise. I just recently decided it was a must to get on track and stay there. I'm happy to report that I've done a much better job in the last 3 weeks. So for fun I decided to remeasure (as the scale is moving VERY slowly) and here are todays stats:
Left thigh: 26in
Right Thigh: 26 1/4 in (crazy how they can be different)
Hips: 42 1/5
Waist (sucking in): 32
Chest: 36 3/4in
Total Inches Lost: 8!!!!
I dont' see a lot of difference when I look in the mirror, and the scale says i'm down 8lbs, but for some reason those 8 inches mean so much more.
I was so please I had to share. It's all of you so bravely showing your success pics and stories that keep me going. THANK YOU ALL:smooched:
