I know a few of us who wanted to make sure we did this.

Yesterday was 6 months until the BIG DAY.

I think it is a great idea to get some pictures of ourselves and take measurements around the first of every month.

get clicking.

    Will do! I need to buy a tape measure first, all I have is the hard plastic one in that thingy that if you don't hold the button it goes in really quick.

    Thigh: 22.5
    Hips(or butt): 38.5
    Chest: 35
    Waist: 33
    Arm: 11

    And so it begins...

    Alright, so I did this. Not entirely pleased with my current measurements since they're a little larger than the last time I measured, but here you go:

    Chest: 36"
    Waist: 29"
    Hips: 37"
    Thighs: 22"
    Upper arm: 10.5"

    Goddamnit those numbers are going to get smaller if it's the last thing I do. I'm not sure if I feel comfortable posting a recent picture.
