Karen,
YEA!!! good answer!
I'm counting (from day 1 10/20 to 11/16 today):
-4____Chest (wearing a bra at nipple line)
-2.5__Ribcage (just under breasts)
-1.5__Waist (at narrowest part)
-3.5__Stomach (at navel)
-3____Hips (at widest part)
-2____Thigh left (7" down from tan line)
-2____Thigh right (7" down from tan line)
Total lost -19.5 inches! Wooweee!
I have NEVER measured before in a diet. Perhaps I wouldn't have been frustrated and given up in the past, had I taken measurements.
I'm still numb to the emotions I feel, losing 9 pounds in a month.
175 to 166 today! Such a new experience, to do the hard work and actually get results, instead of feeling bad frustrated, like a failure. I'm a Loser, not a Failure!!!
This was with light to no resistance, 3x/week 60-min cardio, lots of recovery mobility and stretching & foam roller, and very diligent calorie tracking and compliance.
...photos to come.
