Thanks, guys.

FWIW (not much, ino) the last set of measurements were done under nearly identical conditions (same day, same time of day, same (lack of) meal beforehand. The only difference was that last time Ihad just finished :30 of cardio and today I had done none.

As far as nutrition- I'm shooting for 35p/ 35f/ 30 carb. I am eating at a little bit of a deficit- 1631 calories per day- 1831 on the days I lift. I'm tracking it all in The Daily Plate.

I wasn't expecting to see a loss of tons of inches, but I was expecting to see something! Christie is good about doing each measurement at least twice. Even she kept saying "this can't be right" this morning. She did do caliper tests (4 locations) but by then I was so upset I told her I didn't want to know. Maybe I'll ask on Monday....

I think the thing that really put me over the top was...biceps. I know this sounds stupid- but... You know the cute little shirts with tight bands around the bicep (wide or skinny)? Ladies, you know what I am talking about.... I can't wear them- never have been able to. As of 6 weeks ago I had lost .25 of an inch in the bicep, and I could wear some of them. Well- now I have gained that quarter inch back... and I can't wear them again. I lust after small (muscular, but small) arms.
