Month Eight Weigh-In and Measurements

Christmas Countdowns at WiddlyTinks.com

I am counting this as my NoJoMo entry for today.

Today was weigh-in and measurement day up at Curves! There will be pictures at the end of this, just so you know. =) This month’s losses were small but significant. They made me very pleased. Like I always say, a loss is a loss no matter how small. So anything I get, I’ll take. My goal for the next month is to maintain and not gain. A loss will be gladly accepted, but I’m going to try my best not to gain. Holiday time is the hardest. Renee even asked me for a quote for the newsletter next month on how I did so well and DID NOT gain for Thanksgiving. =)

My next short-term goal is to reach 220 by my birthday. That’s only 11 1/4 pounds between now and then. I have all of December, all of January, all of February and the 1st 12 days of March to accomplish it. I might even lower it to 215, possibly 210, but I’m not going to push it. 220’s a good goal. I have to decide on a reward for reaching it. Got plenty of time to mull it over.

And I finally got my 12th sticker on my Christmas tree. With 5 weeks to spare. So there’s opportunity for more stickers! Anyways…

…here are the numbers:

11/29/2010

Weight – 231 1/4 pounds (235 1/2 last month) = 4 1/4 pounds lost (53 1/2 pounds lost so far)
Bust – 38 in (38 1/2 inches last month) = 1/2 inch loss (3 3/4 inches lost so far)
Waist – 40 3/4 inches (40 3/4 inches last month) = no loss (5 1/4 inches lost so far)
Abdomen – 51 1/2 inches (51 1/2 inches last month) = no loss (7 1/4 inches lost so far)
Hips – 50 3/4 inches (51 3/4 inches last month) = 1 inch lost (7 1/2 inches lost so far)
Thigh – 28 inches (28 inches last month) = no loss (times 2) (9 1/2 inches lost so far – 4 1/4 inches off each one)
Arm – 13 3/4 inches (14 inches last month) = 1/4 inch loss (times 2) (4 inches lost so far – 2 inches off each one)

Body Fat Percentage – 41.1% (41.2 last month) = 0.10% loss

According to my weight/measurement report, I lost 1.98 pounds of body fat (of the 4 1/4 pounds I lost), and 2 inches.

My 8 month total weight loss is 53 1/2 pounds (38.79 is body fat pounds). And I’ve lost 37 1/4 total inches off my body. My body fat percentage is down 5.90%, and my BMI is down 8.44.
