Hey...anybody out there having some "dunlap" problems...you know, where your tummy dunlapped over your belt???

Well, here's the challenge: Between now and Christmas, let's see if we can take off some major inches!

I'll be measuring tonight and posting tomorrow, along with my goal.

Anybody in with me on this?

Ooh, I wanna play!

I was just thinking today about my own "dunlap" problem when my jeans were loose everywhere but my stomach (where they were too tight).

I'll measure in the morning to get an idea of where I am and where I think I can realistically be by Christmas.

Hi Sugar!! This should be fun! I'm going to post measurements probably weekly. Hopefully I'll be able to see some results!

avnndd - Did you get your measurements yet?

Hmmm wonder where everybody is hiding? I thought there'd be a few more of us by today.

I forgot! I'm guessing, though, about 40 ish...my pants are only 34s, but the measurement at the belly button has been, er, problematic at best. I'll double check. My goal would also be around 36 by Christmas.

Ok, I measured around my belly button this morning and the measurement was 36 so my goal will be 33 by Christmas.

This is going to be just as motivating as repeating my wedding date whenever I want to binge has been thus far!

"dunlap problem" *snort* how funny, I'd like to play too! I'm at work and strangely enough don't have a measuring tape with me. WIll do it tonight. Question - when you guys measured, did you measure your "true" waist..or the fattest part where the belly uhm...dunlapped over?

Kaizan, I measured my natural waist, but also took the "dunlop" one too!
