Month Five Weigh-In and Measurements
Today, I had my 5 month weigh-in and measuring done at Curves. Pictures at the end. (Even if they don’t show a lot of change, I’m posting them anyway.)
Again, only a small loss in both areas. But like I always say “A loss is a loss, no matter how small.” So I’ll take it. Just creeping along slowly, at my own pace. I’d rather do it slow and have the weight stay gone than do it too fast and have it all come back and then some. Anyways…
Here are the numbers:
8/27/2010
Weight – 246 pounds even (250 1/2 last month) = 4 1/2 pounds lost
Bust – 39 in (40 inches last month) = 1 inch lost
Waist – 41 1/2 inches (43 inches last month) = 1 1/2 inches lost
Abdomen – 52 inches (52 inches last month) = no loss
Hips – 52 1/2 inches (53 1/2 inches last month) = 1 inch lost
Thigh – 29 1/2 inches (29 1/2 inches last month) = no loss (times 2)
Arm – 14 inches (14 1/2 inches last month) = 1/2 inch lost (times 2)
Body Fat Percentage – 42.4% (42.6 last month) = 0.2% loss
BMI – 38.8 (39.5 last month) = 0.71 loss
According to my weight/measurement report, I lost 2.41 pounds of body fat (of the 4.5 pounds I lost), and 4.5 inches.
My 5 month total weight loss is 38 3/4 pounds (29.53 is body fat pounds). And I’ve lost 29 3/4 total inches off my body. My body fat percentage is down 4.6%, and my BMI is down 6.11.

Go Here to see the before shots taken back in March.
I’m only SIX pounds away from my rewards from my dad. SIX!!! I remember when it was 30. And now it’s down to only a mere SIX!!! How exciting!!
Dad lent me some money to get some new pants from Old Navy so I’d have something to wear that wasn’t baggy and not fitting in the waist. I went from a 3X (24/26) to a 2X (20/22) in 5 months’ time. Amazing. I am very proud of myself. *smiling*
I keep saying that if THIS fatty can do it, ANYONE can. And it still rings true. I’m only 1 1/4 pounds away from a 40 pound loss. And before long it’ll be 50 and 60. Before I know it, I’ll be at my goal. I’m excited.
Please leave your name if you view. Thanks!

Congratulations on that, and keep up the great work! You’re a wonderful inspiration my friend 😉 You guys have a great weekend now, and see you around, Michael.

So do they only weigh you once a month there? I think I like that better than weight watchers and the weekly weigh ins.. sometimes they can be discouraging I think.

You’re doing a great job — they say the healthy way to lose weight is at about one pound per week, and you’re still doing that five months into this..awesome! And there is a huge difference from March. I love your attitude about this whole thing..and congrats on getting under 250!

RYN: Thanks. 🙂 The electric company won’t work with me though. They will only give you an extension for the first or second disconnection notice within a year; this is my third. So in two days – no electric!

ryn : i’ve had baths with her, & it’s lovely, but i’m desperate to have a long soak, with smellies, & my book, for an hour! i wouldn’t change things though 🙂 xx

RYN: You know I guess I see her getting good grades as her job. She has no time in between school, cheer, and gymnastics. I figure I will allow her to be a kid as long as she can be, because sooner or later the real world will slap her in the face. We told her as long as she is a good girl, is not disobedient, does not skip school, gets straight A’s and B’s, and stays in her sport than we wouldtake care of everything. She does not seem to have a sense of entitlement. She has applied for jobs, before but it does not seem like people are hiring 16 year olds around here. Even fast food, the older generation is getting. I had to grow up so fast. I was 12 when I started working, I want her to enjoy her young life cause adulthood is no fun a lot of the times.

ryn: Isnt that obscene? Why is it so big!? lol. I swear, I’ve been saying its twins since the beginning because I’ve been SO sick and had SO many symptoms right off the bat, plus my uterus is HUGE and now Im SERIOUSLY popping at less than 4 months. But the Dr has only found one lol ~

RYN: Thank you…I am here, just not writing, because to be honest, I feel afraid of being open because of what people say here…Its been a real rollercoaster of a year, but I haven’t felt able to write about it *sigh* I haven’t ‘believed’ in love for a long, long time, probably since me and the kids dad split up, thinking that the only real love that exists is that feeling you have foryour kids, your blood family…I certainly haven’t felt that it can conquer any obstacle….but I’m really having that challenged right now…and it scares the sh*t out of me because it means changing a lot of views I thought were ironclad. ‘Never name the well from which you will not drink…’ I miss you too…this place hasn’t felt the same for a long time, eh?xx

RYN: I don’t mind, as strong as my intuition feels I’m thankful for either boy OR girl. 😉

RYN: Well there’s not much visible change in my body as yet (or so I think), so I suspect in the next month or two there will be changes! I look forward to it too. 🙂
