Ok, so I'm having a little party for myself and who better to share it with than you my fitness pals!!! Over winter the medication I was on total messed with my appetite and over 3 months I put on close to 40 pounds!!!!!

Starting in February of this year I got off that med and started getting serious about losing the weight. I joined a local gym and did they measurements my first day

After a recent plateau I needeed a boost so I re-did my measurements.....On my arms, chest, waist, abdominal, hips, thighs and calves I am down just over 25 inches!! AHHH!!! OMG that's awesome!! yay for me. Biggest loss was 6 inches on my hips alone!!!!!! here is the rundown:

Upper arm - 12.5 down to 11.25
Chest - 39.5 down to 36 (sad but I'm hoping it's mostly backfat)
waist - 35 to 31
abd - 40.5 to 36.25
hips - 46.5 to 40.5
thighs - 28.5 to 23
calf - 16 to 14.25

What about you guys........what about your successes???

    WOW have you been an exercising queen or what? That is so exciting. My friend that told me about MFP said "go create and account and check it out. The calorie counter is great; I'm telling you, you will *kitten* your pants the first week" My reply was, well I'm ready to *kitten*! LOL when I seen your post title I had to share this story because you are there HAHA! Congrats on your weight loss and inches down!

    You have just given me the motivation to enter my measurments, I haven't done it yet because I just didn't want to see those starting numbers.
    Thank-you!

    That is AMAZING!!! Congrats!!! Feels great, doesn't it?!?!?! Prior to joining this website, I lost 36 inches off of my body. Ok, so yeah I thought it was a big deal but "inches" didn't really mean anything to me personally until my husband put it into perspective and said something along the lines of me loosing 3 feet off of my body! LOL!!! It's important to stop and look at the whole picture... congrats on your accomplishments. This is truly amazing and you should feel incredibly proud of yourself!!!

    I took no pictures while I was at my biggest (which is good and bad) but I've started now. I am doing so much cardio (elliptical, stationary bike, walking.....i live about 25 minutes away from my gym and I walk to and from) and classes like crazy ... zumba, aerobics, kickboxing, step .. anything I can do.
