Measurements

A fellow blogger posted the above chart for healthy weight. Let's see I'm 5'6 (sometimes 5'5, but we'll go with 5'6 since the numbers are higher)...yep still overweight, but am I actually still considered obese? Hmmm...
Here are my starting stats from 4 weeks ago followed by current:
Weight: 193 / 185
Chest - 41" / 35"
Waist - 41" / 38"
Hips - 44 1/2" / 43"
Rt Thigh - 30 1/2" / 30"
Lt Thigh - 30 1/2" / 30"
Rt Arm - 15 1/2" / 15"
Lt Arm - 15 1/2" / 15 1/2"
Hmmm...I guess that's not bad. I really thought that my thighs were getting smaller, but only 1/2"....hmmm. I wonder if I taped at different spots? I don't know. I'm going to keep on pushing play, try a little harder on my food, and we'll see what happens.

  1. Dont let it get to you! Sometimes you think measuring or jumping on the scale will help motivate you, but I know when it doesnt swing in my favor I just crash. We have to remember, we didnt put the weight on over night, so we arent going to lose it over night. Think of all the healthy decisions you have made to transition into a healthy lifestyle! Sometimes I get the feeling that I would be happier if I lost my scale/measuring tape because I can be feeling great about myself, thinking Im making progress, which I probably am, but as soon as I jump on the scale....crash, all motivation and positive thoughts are out the door! :) lol Keep pushing play, you will be glad you did! ;)
