I'm planning to take photos in the next day or two, and will also be recording my weight, BF%, and measurements for bust, ribcage, waist, hips, thigh and bicep.

Feel free to post your stats here if you're feeling brave (bonus points if you post your photos, though I imagine most of us will save those for the end, if at all, haha). You can also post your height and age, so we can find other group members with similar stats -- 30DS twins! :)

    Just ordered my 30 day shred DVD - wonder what the boyfriend will make of the livingroom being taken over by a sweaty me!! oh well. I had a body composition done on Sunday. It was pretty good but lets see what Jillian can do with me on top of my Bootcamp and Trendmill running before two wedding and a holiday at the beginning of May!

    I'm 171.5 (5ft 7.5)
    77.4kg (about 170lb - the reason i went for the body composition test!)
    Arm - 28cm (11inches)
    Waist - 77cm (30 inches)
    Hips - 100cm (39 Inches)
    Thigh - 53cm (21 inches)
    Ribcage - 32inches
    Bust - 40inches
    Body Fat - 21.9%

    This is the first group I've joined and I would love a twin!! I struggle know how my body looks now - BF is always laughing when I point out someone and ask if my body is like theirs. I'm always totally wrong!

    This is the first group I've joined and I would love a twin!! I struggle know how my body looks now - BF is always laughing when I point out someone and ask if my body is like theirs. I'm always totally wrong!

    Sarah, we are pretty similar. I'm working on my self-image too, though mine's a lot better now that I'm so close to my goal weight. (Hooray!) I really want to build some muscle and lose a few inches here and there.

    My stats:
    27 years old
    5'9"
    weight: 140 lbs
    BF%: 21.8 (according to my Thinner scale; not sure how accurate that really is...)
    bust: 36"
    ribcage (below bust, where bra band sits): 34"
    waist: 31"
    lovehandles ;) (my trouble area!):35.5"
    hips: 38.5"
    thigh: 22"
    bicep: 10.75"

    I have a pretty small frame (yay) but an apple body shape (boo), so I'm generally happy with my arms, and legs, but I wish I could lose some from my midsection and add some muscle to my butt. ;)

    Thanks to everyone who has already checked in; it's nice to know there are so many people along for the ride!

    Sarah, I'll do my measurements tonight, but I think we might be similar (I know I'm 5ft 6 1/2in and 171 lbs. It will be good to measure, but not something I can do at the office!

    Your 'BF is always laughing when you point' comment really hit home. I do the same thing all of the time with my husband. He even knows when it is coming now...someone walks by and he's says.. 'no, you don't look alike!' :happy:

    I've nver done this 'group' thing before, and so I hope I'm replying correctly! We'll see!

    I am excited to find out I might have two twins (does that work?). The DVD is here so now I'm heading off to the cheap home goods shop to look for weights. Strangely looking forward to tomorrow AM!

    I dunno about anyone else but I am not really up for posting pics... I can't take a decent phone self portrait and if I ask the BF to he'll think the fitness fixation has become an obsession LOL. I would like to use photos to see the difference so does anyone have self portrait tips?

    Do you have a tripod? Or maybe put the camera on the dresser and set it on timer.

    I have a remote for mine, so I put it somewhere and then use the remote.

    I've definitely used my timer on my phone to take pictures before. It's a little tricky, but with a little practice you'll get good ones. There are also lots of ideas online for making different camera phone "tripods," like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Tripod-Adapter-Mount-for-iPhone-HTC-Evo-c/

    I totally feel you with the BF thinking I'm too fixated. The other day I told him I lost another couple pounds, and he was like, "Hm." I asked if he was getting tired of hearing about my calories and weight and workouts all the time, and he responded, "No....*long pause*... kinda."

    Pockiez, we are pretty close in weight and proportions, but you're smaller than me in inches all the way around! You must have more muscle than I do!
