Hey everybody!
I wanted to see if anybody would be interested in competing against me in losing inches? I am having some motivational problems getting myself to the gym as of late, so I thought that this might be motivational for me as well as anybody who was interested! I was thinking that we could measure every sunday until the end of May.

Anybody down?
:bigsmile:

My current measurements are:

waist 29"
hips 36.5"
butt 42"
thighs L: 25" R: 24.5"
calfs L: 15" R: 15.5"
arms L: 12" R: 12"

    Hey I am keen. I think we're pretty similar in size too! Last time I measured I was:

    waist 32.5"
    hips 35.5"
    butt 38"
    thighs L: 24.5"

    Will measure on Sunday and update - and measure arms and calves too. Where do you measure on your arms?

    Hello Ladies,
    I didn't have any change this week. I feel okay with that. The weekend didn't go as good as planned. But it could have been worst for sure.
    waist 29"
    hips 40"
    chest: 38"
    thighs L: 21" R: 21"
    calfs L: 14.5" R: 14.5"
    arms L: 11" R: 11"
    Hope next week I will start seeing some change.
    Keep up the great work ladies!

    Congrats, dino_morgan!

    Gaby, I've heard that measurements often take a while to show up ( I guess because of minor fluctuations plus the difficulty of measuring in the exact same place with the exact same method) so I'm sure you'll see some progress maybe next week!

    Oh and welcome to the group, kath!

    Kitty is right. I think you're supposed to really measure every two weeks, but when it does show up in a week it's an extra surprise! Don't worry about it Gaby, just keep up the good work and you'll get there!:flowerforyou:

    My Sunday update:
    Lost 1.5" this week! A little from each of: waist, hips, butt, one thigh, both calves and both arms! Though the arms might be just sorting out a consistent place to measure them cos I haven't measured them before.

    Good luck everyone for your Sunday!

    I would love to do this!
    You and I have fairly similar measurements too, which seems like it would make it a pretty "fair" competition.

    Age = 20
    Height = 5 ft. 5 in.
    Weight = 151.5 lbs
    Bust = 36 in.
    Waist = 29 in.
    Hips = 37.5 in.
    Thigh = R: 24 in. / L: 23.5 in.
    Calves = R: 15.25 in. / L: 15.25 in.
    Biceps = R: 11 in. / L: 10.75 in.

    If you're interested, shoot me a friend request! :]

    Hey all

    At a glance seems like everyone's been pretty successful, either dropping or staying the same! Me this week - 1.4 inches lost total. So slow but steady loss, I've lost a total of just over 4 inches since we started tracking, I'm pretty stoked with that!

    chest (under bust): 31.7"
    waist: 31.1"
    hips: 34.4"
    butt: 38.2"
    thighs: L:23.4" R:23.0"
    calves: L:15.5" R:15.35"
    arms: L: 11.42" R:11.6"
