measurements are looking good!!!, have a question also
Hi everyone,
well, I am so glad that someone advised me awhile back to take measurements. At the time I was a little bummed out to actually see the numbers. I recorded my measurements exactly one month ago and took them again this morning. I am pleased to say that I lost 1/2 inch on my waist, 1 nch on my thighs, i inch on my hips and 1/2 inch on my upper arms (which is so exciting because I always hated my arms.) So, although I haven't lost any weight I know now that my bosy is taking up a little less space than it did before and some of that ugly fat has turned into glorious muscle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I encourage everyone to take measurments, You will be amazed. I thought that my arms were looking a little better but I had no idea the rest of me had lost inches too. For those stalls we get in, knowing that you have lost inches really makes you want to continue and not give up.
OK, Now a question for anyone out there with an answer. I am a mother of 2, pushing 30 and obviously have some more weight to lose. My question is........ The area right below my belly button is just disgusting!!!!!! I have a pouch that will not go away and it not only there but also carries over to my upper hips,it looks like I have about ten pounds just strapped on to me. Does anyone else have this problem area? How can I get rid of it? I know that losing all the weight I need to will possibly help it slightly but I know I have to do something else. If I was rich I would consider having some surgery, HA!!!!! Does anyone know a good excercise for that. I do excercise but nothing seems to help it. The funny thing is the more weight I lose the more obvious that becomes and it just stares me in the mirror. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for going on and on,
Laurie
