Thighs: 20.5 inches, no change (my right thigh is 20.5, left thigh 21. Go figure!)
Calves: 14.0 inches, no change
Upper arms: 9.5 inches, no change

    They are great! The increase in weight shows how hard you worked and how much stronger you got! Body fat went down~whoohoo. You should be very pleased. I hope I can do as well when I get up the guts to stop reading about stage one and actually doing it!

    How you feel is equally important and I'm guessing its pretty darn good!!! :)

    Thanks ladies! I feel like I should be lifting more, but I am making improvements and that is what counts.

    @tammymusic1, I added you as a friend!
