Progress updates

Starting this thread as a place to post your measurement/weight/photo updates, or just to chat about how you're feeling to receive some praise and motivation, or to do the same for others.

We're all in this together - so let's help each other along the way, and share the journey.

I'm going to take my 'Before' photo tomorrow morning, and do all my measurements every Monday morning before breakfast.

Will post up these on Monday, and add a ticker to my signature to keep track of progress!

Best of luck everyone :)

    Is there a way to add a ticker with measurements?

    Super idea. I'll take pictures and measurements every Saturday (more time) and hopefully there'll be a stunning 'before and after' comparison :). woop!

    Personally, I'd rather just skip to the after pics (LOL) but as JM says, "Results do not come free - we have to put in the effort!" So, before pics it is :(

    Unfortunately, MFP took away the privilege of having more than one ticker in your signature several months ago because it was apparently getting out of hand.

    Okay, here are the ugly starting stats:

    Weight: 196.6
    Natural waist: 36"
    Waist at belly button: 42"
    Hips: 46"
    Bust at fullest part: 41.25"
    Thigh at fullest part: 28.5"
    Bicep: 13.5"

    I haven't taken pictures yet, but am planning to do so tonight. I must be feeling brave and confident because I've never posted measurements before! It can only get better, right?

    I haven't taken before pics and I don't have a tape measure. Today is my 5th day doing the Shred, I started at 157 lbs and this morning I weighed in at 154. So, 3 lbs lost :)) I'll get some pics today and I'll take more at the end of the 30 days, although a lot of my upper leg flab has disappeared already (YAY)!

    Okay, just done my measurements for the week - super depressing because the last ones I recorded were from late last year when I was almost at my target figure :( So safe to say I've accumulated quite a few inches everywhere! But it's exactly what we're here to change, so here are my measurements (all in inches):

    Upper arm: 11.5
    Bust: 37.5
    Waist: 30.5
    Stomach: 40.5
    Hips: 39.0
    Upper Thigh: 24.5

    Height: 5ft 7in
    Weight: 158 lbs

    BMI: 24.75

    I've taken before photos, but I'll wait until I have comparison shots later on before I put these up, it'll lessen the shame! :p
