Back to the gym

Went to the doctor today and down 22 lbs in 6 weeks.  i asked him about going back to the gym and he told me to knock myself out.  I went back and saw my trainer, who was wondering where I had been.  I hadn't been to see him since November because I was having such a problem with my plantar fasciitis (which by the way has not been bothering me since weight loss).  Here are the measurements from 11/14/2011 and today:

                                   11/14/11         5/30/12               Down
Weight                        246.2             220.7                  20.5        
Waist                          43.0                40.0                    3.0
Hip                              52.25              50.0                    2.25
Chest                         42.75              40.5                    2.25
Right Arm                  13.5                13.0                    0.5
Right Leg                  22.5                 21.5                   1.0
BMI                             40.3                 36.2                   4.1
Body Fat %               44.6                 42.6                   2.0%

I am down a total of 13.75 inches since I started working out almost a year ago (had a hiatus from November until now).  Boy does it feel good. 

really awesome numbers! i haven't started exercising at 3 wks out and was wondering when to pick it up. thinking about doing yoga next week to warm up. you have inspired me!

I'm a nurse and I waited for the doctor to give me clearance for weight lifting and cardio.  i don't see why you couldn't do yoga.  you know how far your body can move.  I didn't realize how hard my workout was until I did it today.  Good luck.
