Thanks to PerpendicularPessimist, I realized I should be taking my measurements as well as weighing myself. I won’t be taking my measurements as often as weighing in but I will try to take them at least once a month. I wish I would have started taking my measurements from the beginning but I never thought of it until I saw PerpendicularPessimist’s post here. So here is my measurements (in inches)…
Bust – 47 1/2
Chest – 38 1/2
Waist – 42
Navel – 50 1/2
Hips- 51
Thigh – 27 1/2
Calves – 18 1/2
Upper Arm – 17
Forearm – 12
Neck – 16
These are my first measurements that I have taken, even though I have already started my journey. I will try to take my measurements on the first of every month since I conveniently took my measurements today on the 1st.

Becoming the Best Me

I do my measurements weekly as this week I didn’t have any weight loss but did have the best measurement change in the three weeks with a total of 4 inches lost. Now I am not measuring my thighs, arms, neck..etc..maybe I should have because I do know I have lost inches on my legs and arms and back(my clothes are looser on me) and people are mentioning they can see a change in my face and neck getting smaller….may I suggest you may want to take measurements once every two weeks just to get a sense of the changes especially if the weight loss slows or plateaus…sure was a boost to my confidence this week when I saw now weight change but then saw the changes in measurements…you’re doing great by the way!!! and thanks following my blog…:-)
That is a good idea… I should do that! Maybe it will help with the encouragement! 🙂
You should! I hadn’t even thought of it until I read her post! I was looking for other indicators like more energy, looser pants, and more self-confidence but I didn’t think to take my measurements LOL
exactly! now I wish I would’ve started doing that in the beginning loll
Same here, same here 🙂
