Yay! 2 more days until shredding with my besties!
Not joined up with us yet?! There’s still time —>Go here now!<—We start on Wed!
For today’s pre-challenge assignment, I want to encourage you to be sure to take your measurements and weigh yourself before beginning the challenge on Wed. Not making any promises here of course, but people do say that they’ve lost inches from doing this bad boy and we ARE committing to 30 DAYS here! lol
Of course you recognize that a great consciousness of calorie intake during this time will probably contribute to best results if weight loss is your challenge intent. 😉
When taking your measurements, I don’t think it matters so much what you measure as long as you measure in the same places at the end of 30 days. For me, since the beginning of my weight loss, I’ve measure once a month from arms, chest, waist, hips and thigh. Here’s an example of my latest measurements.
Friends, I know more than anyone that it can be difficult to do this BUT trust me when I say that this is just your starting point…that’s all – they are only numbers and a reminder to the commitments that YOU are making.
Hey, if you feel bad at all PLEASE take a look at my initial measurements (link above) AND drop me a note.
I am here to support you! I 100% believe in you and the fact that if I can lose 110 lbs, so can you my friend…need more proof? Have a look at the early pics on my home page video! 😉
It’s a process and we ARE making progress!
Please DO comments that you’ve taken this step (don’t feel that you need to share results unless you want to) – I’m really loving and appreciating your interaction here. Thanks and enjoy the day!
Forward…
I will do that, most definitely!
Kim, I know you are on top of this one! Thanks for the reminder last week! 🙂
I’m in on the other challenge, but my weight is 235.6 today and my waistline is at 43.5 inches.
Thanks for posting that Cynthia and good work girl! Anxious to hear how it goes for you over the 30 days…believing in big changes to keep us going forward towards our goals.
Hey there,
I will do this too as soon as I am home from my vacation as I don’t have a scale and a tape measure here. But I will measure and weigh in on Friday morning!
BUT I will start working out tomorrow – I have everything with me 🙂
Greetings from a lovely hotel in Styria
Andier
Yay you on vacation! (I just googled Styria – sounds lovely!) Have fun, sounds great and thanks for keeping me posted!
I just scheduled my exercise for every day of the challenge on my software calendar. I figure the little reminder can’t hurt. I thought about resting today, but went ahead and walked anyway. Though today it was my ankles bothering me more than my arches. They don’t like how much they have to flex going up the hill. Too many sprains over the years, I suppose.
Breathing-wise, I think it is getting a touch easier every day though.
Great idea Cynthia..thanks for posting! You’re doing great – glad that you decided to join us!
Okay, I weighed and measured today (me, not my food). The good news – I’ve lost another pound. The bad news – my measurements are 43-44-48.5 YIKES! Not exactly an hour-glass figure….yet! I’m ready!
Linda, I just luv you girl! 🙂 Congrats on the lb lost – your progress is awesome! AND I so appreciate your honesty and determination…making a last post now at the FB page with an instruction for tomorrow. 🙂
