Today's measurements are for twenty-four weeks on plan:
Weight: 169.0
Chest: 38"
Left Bicep: 11.75"
Waist: 34.5"
Hip: 39.5"
Left Thigh: 22.5"
Total weight lost as of today: 69 pounds
Total inches lost as of today: 48.75"
I also finally got my scale to start showing all the measurements that it was supposed to show me from the beginning. It measures the percentage of my weight that is body fat, water weight, muscle mass, and bone mass. This is the first time I have seen these numbers, so I have taken the liberty of looking it up on "the Google" to see what is normal for my height and age, and those numbers are in parentheses beside my actual measurements:
Body fat: 33.3% (average is 20-21%)
Water weight: 48.2% (average is between 37-49% for my body fat %)
Muscle mass: 28.4% (average is 36%)
Bone mass: 4.0%
Looks like I have some work to do still! Next week I will have my numbers again, so I can see how much they are changing from week to week. It will give me a better gauge on how I'm doing, since my weight loss seems to be slowing down a bit.
(I have another "during" picture to post, but I don't like the ones I took this morning ... I will take more tonight or tomorrow and post it then!)

ACK! Weekly Weigh-In and a Catch-Up
So ... Hey, folks! How ya doin'? Did you wonder where I went? Yeah, me too. I forgot to post my workout for Friday, so here it is:
Completed Day Three of Ease Into 5K
Time: 26:38
Distance: 1.98mi
I followed a route with some friends who were running, and it was nice to have a change of scenery. It was NOT nice, however, when a van decided to run through a puddle and soak my entire right side. Classy, people--thanks.
This weekend was a down weekend for exercise, which was good because our little Munchkin got sick and is still sick today. Sick Munchkin = no school = no "alone" exercise time for Mommy, so I am behind on starting Week 2 of my Ease Into 5K app. I am hoping that my husband can come home a little early today, so I can maybe squeeze my run in before dinner.
I alo weighed in today, and have lost another 2.6 pounds! That brings my total to 64 pounds lost, with 36 left to go. If I average three pounds a week (which might be a stretch but I'm being optimistic here), that would mean that I will hit my goal weight just after the new year. I would absolutely LOVE to reach my goal in January! Here's hoping!

Weekly Weigh-In
On Take Shape For Life (TSFL), I weigh in once a week and record my weight and measurements at five different places on my body. I will be posting those numbers here for the world to see, which some may call insane; I call it ACCOUNTABILITY. If everyone reading this blog sees my measurements, I'm less tempted to cheat and make those numbers go UP rather than down.
Since this is my first weigh-in post, I will post my starting measurements, so you can see how far I have come in five months.
Starting Measurements:
Weight--238.0
Chest--48.75"
Left Bicep--15.75"
Waist--49.5"
Hip--51.5"
Left thigh--30"
These are the measurements I took this morning, at twenty weeks on plan:
Weight--176.6
Chest--40"
Left Bicep--12"
Waist--36.5"
Hip--40.5"
Left Thigh--22.75"
Total weight lost as of today: 61.4 pounds
Total inches lost as of today: 43.25"
WOW. Just seeing those numbers again makes me realize just how far I have come. I've lost more than a foot off my waist alone! I also took another "in progress" picture today and the comparison to when I began is mind-blowing.
I cannot believe I ever looked that bad. It is pure motivation to stay on plan, when I see that "before" picture and how unhealthy I looked (and was!). It's not easy, by any stretch, but by following the plan I look and feel SO MUCH BETTER.
Yay for health!
