Fengshway--while your measurements may not have changed, there is a noticeable difference, especially in your waist. You look more pulled in and less soft. Great job.

Well here are my measurements - I'll be honest, I'm not sure how I pulled the loss of almost 4.5 inches off unless I just wasn't eating as much (I did little to no tracking in January. I just didn't have the energy).

Left Bicep....................15".. ............15.125" (+.125)
Chest (under Armpits)....46.5"............4 5.5" (-1)

Wow, all you girls have done soo well. I know I post in all the threads but I'm not technically in the challenge, hehe. I'm also a week behind everyone else... so I'll post one month pics in my log next week. I just wanted to tell everyone in one place that you're all do phenominally (i have no idea how to spell that, but you catch my drift! hehe) WELL DONE LADIES!!!!
Weight: 160.5 to 153.0 -- lost 7.5 lbs
Chest: 40" to 39"
Below Chest: 32" to 31"
Stomach right below belly button: 39.5" to 39.25"
Waist at smallest: 32.5" to 30"
Hips: 41" to 40.25"
Right Thigh: 24.25" to 23.5"
**I just started tracking BF with the Omron, so next month I will have a better idea of that measurement. I know it's not 100% accurate, so I'd rather work with a month of trending before reporting on my results**
Ok here's a copy of what I posted in my training log:
Height 5'3" - this one doesn't fluctuate a lot
Weight 127 lb - 120 lb Yeah, it dropped a bit much for 4 weeks but I measured in right after the holidays, with tons of carbs and everything, and then went very low carb with no starches whatsoever...well, except for that one evil stuffed pancake...
I do not see any changes, but in measuring I have lost some inches. In my log are my measurements. Once I get the pics posted, I'll move the measurements over. I'm sorry, I have the workout pants I'm wearing in the first pics packed for our trip, so I had to dig out some others for these pics. I actually think I look better in the pics taken 4 weeks ago. Not sure if it's the difference in pants, or what...kind of disappointing. OK, not kind of....very disappointing.
Everyone looks great. It is amazing what a month of hard work can do.
Jodi, your losses are tremendous. You lost 4" and that is only from three measurements!! It shows that you have had good fat loss/muscle gain when you have only lost 4 pounds but have lost 4". You need to pat yourself on the back. While it may not be as much as you had hoped, look how much closer you are than if you wouldn't have begun this challenge a month ago.
One thing I see on the side pictures is that your shoulders are further back. Your posture has improved!

Congrats to all who've stuck with it this long!! I see changes in everyone's pics so far! (It's just more difficult for most of us to see them in ourselves. )
