As I had discussed a while ago, I have been struggling to get over a plateau. I went several weeks without any noticeable changes and I was getting SO frustrated! Fortunately, I finally pushed over it and am again seeing my numbers change. I decided to go a quick comparison of some of my measurements.

November 4, 2012

Weight - 265.4
Waist - 49.5
Hips - 51.5
Thigh - 26
Upper Arm - 14.5

January 12, 2013

Weight - 232.0
Waist - 46.0
Hips - 47.5
Thigh - 24
Upper Arm - 13

My Totals!

Weight Lost - 33.4 pounds
Waist Inches Lost - 3.5
Hips Inches Lost - 4
Thigh Inches Lost - 2
Upper Arm Inches Lost - 1.5

Of course I'm the most excited about the pounds total but the other numbers are pretty significant too. 3.5 and 4 inches might not seem like that much, but it equals 3 pants sizes dropped. My thigh didn't change much, but my legs are so much stronger. I no longer ache when walking a flight of stairs and I can squat and bend in ways I haven't been able to in years. My measly 1.5 inches seems pretty small but my upper arm looks more toned and I have less fat and more muscle. It's also stronger. I find I can lift things I couldn't before.

I was nervous to run the numbers after not seeing any change for almost a month. I was overwhelmingly surprised when I checked them today. So surprised, I measured my waist 3 times to be sure it was right.
