Weigh-In For Week 4

239.8!!! Out of the 240’s, baby! Woo hoo! Okay, in all honesty I actually stepped on the scale first thing and it read 240.0 and I was very frustrated (come on; give me that percentage of a pound, I thought), so I stepped on again and it showed 239.8. So then I checked two more times, just to be sure, and it read the same: 239.8. Maybe I burned that fraction of a pound stepping up onto the scale the second time!

As promised, I am posting a progress picture today and updating my measurements. I am putting both of these into my sidebar as well for easy reference. So, without further ado:
Weight - 239.8 lbs (-14.8)
Bust - 47.0 inches (-3.0)
Waist - 46.0 inches (-2.0)
Hips - 54.0 inches (-1.0)
Arms - 17.0 inches (-0.5)
Thighs - 31.0 inches (-1.5)
Body Mass Index - 37.6 (-2.3)

I wore the same outfit to try and make comparisons easy (sorry, Larkspur, I know you were probably hoping for something more original!). So far I don’t see much of a difference at all, but I was pretty much expecting that so I’m not worried. The measurements are nice, because they do show a loss. In fact, when I add up all the numbers I have lost a total of eight inches from my body so far (actually ten inches, if I account for the fact that I have two arms and two thighs). No wonder my jeans have been feeling slightly loose!

  2. I can see a difference too -- in your arms and in your sides where your arms rest. I bet if you posted them side by side the differences would be even more apparent. Congrats on getting below 240!! That's pretty exciting! :-)

  4. Congrats. I love going into a new "decade". Its a great feeling. Look at the pics again, you can definitely see the difference, look at the space between your knees - your thighs are smaller so your knees are closer together!!

    Hugs.
