So I was just flipping through the book I record my measurements in. I first measured myself on July 31, 2012. I last measured on Jan 3, 2013. In that time I have lost a total of 46 inches off of my body. That's 3.8 feet. Really puts things in perspective for me!!

    You're amazing!

    I didn't really measure at the start, and I'm sorry I didn't! I do have one pair of "original" jeans from those heaviest day, and I think I'll wear them next year and dress up like a clown (complete with a hulahoop in my jeans and red suspenders).

    You.rock!

    Great Job! Today is my 2nd day... You have inspired me to take my measurements! I thought about skipping it because I didn't really want to see the numbers... facing the reality is the only way to experience the success! Thank you for sharing : )
