Jul 31, 2008
6/19 8/1
1. Bust 51 49.5
2. Chest 43 40.5
3. Waist 50.5 48**
4. Hips 48.5 47
5. Midway 50 48
6. Thighs L- 28 R- 27.5 L- 28 R- 28
7. Knees L- 18 R- 18 L- 17 R- 18
8. Calves L- 17 R- 17.5 L- 16.75 R- 17.5
9. Upper Arm L- 13 R- 15 L- 14.5 R- 15.5
10. Forearm L- 10.75 R- 11.25 L- 10.5 R- 11
**(I measured at my navel line the first time because I couldn't tell where my waist was, but looking in the mirror this morning I could see the smallest part of my waist which is where you're supposed to measure and it was 43. I'll be measuring there from now on.) Also with my arm and leg measurements I'm not sure if I placed the tape at the exact same spots as the first time so the measurements may be a little off but I've also been working my arms and legs harder at the gym so this may be muscle mass. I made myself some guidelines to get accurate readings next time so...
I am psyched about my body measurements though. Everything went down! So even if/ when the scale isn't moving the inches are so it's encouragement to keep up my good work.

Mini Goal Set
Jul 29, 2008
I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!!
Jul 17, 2008
I know yesterday I wrote that I wanted to be at 234lbs ASAP but I had stalled, well...... I FINALLY GOT THERE!! Somehow I lost three pounds between getting up yesterday morning and getting to the doctor for a fill yesterday afternoon. I am soooo excited!!! I did up my exercising at the beginning of the week so maybe that caught up with me. I thought that my scale at home was playing tricks on me so when I got home from the gym I hopped on just to see (normally I weigh more in the evening than in the morning) but there it was... 234!! My next mini goal is 215 by Labor Day. And you can hold me to that! I am in the Labor Day challenge on the LB board and I hadn't been doing too well so far but this has just made my weekend!!! YAY ME!!!
Stalled... NSV for DH
Jul 16, 2008
DH had an NSV yesterday and didn't even realize it. We were sitting on the couch talking and he crossed his legs (a man's cross, not a lady's cross) and he wasn't straining or struggling to keep it up there. He just kept right on talking and I looked at him after about five minutes and said "You have your legs crossed!" He looked down, his eyes got big, and he just couldn't believe it! I am sooooo proud of him! He's lost about 45 lbs since his pre-op diet. He's doing so well! I love him with all my heart... plus there are some added bonuses!
Problems Measuring?

To A New Us... Cheers!!
Jun 09, 2008
Well, DH was banded last Tuesday, 6/3/08. He's doing very well, so well in fact that I have to remind myself that this isn't a competition! I'm so proud of him!! He took to this like a fish in water. I was worried at first that he might have a hard time with it but then I remember that everybody's journey is different. He's my source of encouragement and my little voice that says "Hey, hey, is that part of the plan?" He doesn't just come out and say that but he'll say something like, "I'm really gonna try to make mine work for me, what about you?" It'll be just what I need to remind me to put that cookie in the trash (even though it's just a Nilla Wafer.) He's ready to start back to exercising and everything. I've been doing my walking at work but now that it's so hot outside it'll be good to have someone who's willing to go with me once I get home. I'm amazed at how much more energy we both have even though we haven't lost a lot. I'm soooooo ready for this!!!
