Month Seven Weigh-In and Measurements

Hello everyone! It’s that time of the month again.

No no no.. not THAT time of the month. Silly people! =P

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 excellent. They made me very happy. I’m glad things are going better now that I can go exercise more. And I was a good girl this weekend and watched my sodium intake very very closely. I’ve noticed that my body is extremely sensitive to it for some reason. It’s not hard to watch my intake, pretty easy really. Anyways…

Here are the numbers:

10/25/2010

Weight – 235 1/2 pounds (242 3/4 last month) = 7 1/4 pounds lost (49 1/4 pounds lost so far)
Bust – 38 1/2 in (39 inches last month) = 1/2 inch loss (3 1/4 inches lost so far)
Waist – 40 3/4 inches (41 1/2 inches last month) = 3/4 inch loss (5 1/4 inches lost so far)
Abdomen – 51 1/2 inches (51 3/4 inches last month) = 1/4 inch lost (7 1/4 inches lost so far)
Hips – 51 3/4 inches (52 1/4 inches last month) = 1/2 inch lost (6 1/2 inches lost so far)
Thigh – 28 inches (29 inches last month) = 1 inch lost (times 2) (9 1/2 inches lost so far – 4 1/4 inches off each one)
Arm – 14 inches (14 inches last month) = no loss (times 2) (3 1/2 inches lost so far – 1 3/4 inches off each one)

Body Fat Percentage – 41.2% (42.0 last month) = 0.80% loss
BMI – 37.16 (38.30 last month) = 1.14 loss

According to my weight/measurement report, I lost 4.93 pounds of body fat (of the 7 1/4 pounds I lost), and 4 inches.

My 7 month total weight loss is 49 1/4 pounds (36.81 is body fat pounds). And I’ve lost 35 1/4 total inches off my body. My body fat percentage is down 5.80%, and my BMI is down 7.77.

You can see where I started 7 months ago HERE.

I’ve definitely come a long way over the last 7 months. I feel very accomplished, and am extremely proud of myself! I got to add 2 more stickers to my Christmas tree at Curves today. I’m only 4 pounds away from the 12 I need to lose before Christmas. And I’m only 3/4 of a pound away from having my 50 pound loss. I’ll definitely reach my goal of a 50 pound loss by Christmas. It’ll probably even be over that, which I’m counting on.

My next goal is to be able to get myself a new pair of jeans. And just think, maybe I won’t have to shop at Lane Bryant to do so!

Hope this entry helps to inspire those of you on your road to weight loss. If *I* can do it, ANYONE can! Believe in yourself and love yourself enough to want to make the change in your life.
