This is my second time doing the 30DS. Here are the numbers:

1/8/13
Weight: 191.8
Bust (under): 33.25
Waist: 32.5
Hips: 40.5
L thigh: 23.5
R thigh: 23.5
L arm: 13
R arm: 13

2/8/13
Weight: 189.2 (-2.6 lbs)
Bust (under): 32.5 (-.75)
Waist: 31 (-1.5)
Hips: 38 (-2.5)
L thigh: 22.5 (-1)
R thigh: 22.5 (-1)
L arm: 12.25 (-.75)
R arm: 12.25 (-.75)

And the pictures! I took a lot of pictures. They're vital for motivation, at least for me!

In my motivation outfit - I'm going to a Matchbox 20 concert in about a week and, well...you can see how it looked when I started. Noooo thank you.

I lost about a clothing size (16 to 14). In 2.6 lbs. THE SCALE IS FULL OF CRAP. :)

    Thanks for this! Very inspirational. My scale isn't budging either. I will start taking pics like you. I never measure myself and I am a slave to the scale. You have changed my mind big time. Hope you enjoy your concert.

    You look great!

    I am on L2D3 today and I have been kind of discouraged since my scale has not moved, but I did take measurements and before pictures. After level one I have lost an inch in my waist, half an in in my hips, almost an inch in my arms and half an inch in my thighs. Can't wait to see my final results

    Wow. Great results. 2 inches from your hips is incredible! And you can definitely see a difference in your arms and tummy.

    Thank you for posting this! I'm on day 25 and have not lost much weight. I took a few pics and I measured my waist but that's it I'm gonna do another round and do more measurements. You look fantastic! I can see a big difference. I'm gonna try and quit obsessing over the scale.

    YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    ...are inspiring. That's awesome.

    ...and can I mention? I weigh about 140, and your hips and thighs are smaller that mine. Bodies are weird, hahaha.

    ...okay I'm going to go work out now.

    Congrats on so much progress in such a short amount of time!

    And maybe more importantly, congrats on realizing how unimportant the scale can be. Keep it up! :)

    I found the same with 30DS - very little weight loss if any but amazing reshaping of the whole body. Something else that does the same and my favourite at the moment - Kettlenetics. So far lost less than 5lbs in 6 weeks but over 8 inches gone all over!!
