Keeping Track


I can't stand keeping track of weight loss. It sucks! Actually, it goes against my advice. Really. I don't think people should weigh. If you feel you must keep track, then measuring inches is better. I prefer looking in the mirror. Call me old fashioned, but when I was losing weight before, I threw my scale in the trash. Honestly! I was working so hard and at the end of one week I got on the scale and gained 2 pounds. Are you freakin' kidding me? It just isn't accurate for week to week keeping track. However, since you are following this blog to find out my weight loss, I am going to weigh every 2 weeks for now. I will measure weekly.

Beginning weight as of November 28th, 2007 is 235 pounds.

I will be weighing on my grandparents scale (like I said I don't own one). They have one of those scales like you see in gyms or Dr. offices where you move the bar over and you have to keep going and going. So embarrassing!

Beginning Measurements are as follows: (added Saturday November 30th)
Neck: 13.25 inches
Left Arm: 12.75 inches
Right Arm: just under 13 inches
Bust: 43 inches
Waist: 36.5 inches
Abdomen: 48 inches
Hips: 51.5 inches
Left Thigh: 27 inches
Right Thigh: 27 inches
Left Calf: 16 inches
Right Calf: 16 inches

Total Inches: 304!!!!!

That should cover it. Uuugghhhh!

This is so cool for you to do. I totally get how healthy eating helps you lose weight, skin look better and all that, but for me right now I need my diet pepsi!. I am cheering you on, you might even get me a little motivated to do something;)

January - Your enthusiasm is inspiring! :) I'm subscribing. Best wishes on your journey. I'm 5'8" and in the 260s - I've been vegan for a year, but I desperately need to work on exercise and portion control now, but first I'll start with the fruit-only mornings (until I'm very hungry) as suggested in Skinny Bitch.
