OFFICIAL WOMEN'S CHALLENGE: One Month Stats & Pictures

[UConnJulie]

OK ladies. One month has passed since the onset of our challenge. We agreed to post pictures on the first Monday of each month until the challenge ends. So here is where you should post your challenge pictures.

Please have them posted by the end of the day on Monday!

ok, weight and measurements exactly the same, except 0.5 gain in bicep and 0.5 gain in shoulders.

[jhardy]

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.

Fengshway- you can definatly see a difference in your mid section! Great job! I am gonna go take my pics soon, gotta charge the camera battery!

[SpacecityPaula]

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)

Great progress so far ladies! I definitely see a difference.

[Littlemermaidklb]

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!!!!

Front...Don't see too much change.



Back. Looks like quads are sticking out more.



Side. Almost identical.



I think this pic shows the growth in legs best:




And this one is just for fun...hamming it up with my 'back pic'

[missjane]

1 month pics and stats:

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...

Bicep 10.63" - 10.2"
Waist 26.8"- 24.8"
"Low" waist 29.5" - 28.3
Hips 36.2" - 35"
Thigh (R) 20.5" - 20.1" (L) 20.2" -19.5"
Chest 34.6" - don't ask. Too frustrating
MBI 22.5 - 21.3

And the pics, 1/5 and today

[Jodi]

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.
