Hey,
I would love to join this challange. I moved half way across the country and will be going home for Christmas and would love to reach my goal of 115 before then. This will motivate me to keep moving. I have been soo up and down recently. I also have pics from last year under the tree with my mom so it will be easy enough to post new ones this year.

I'm with Emily on the frame size...someone here posted a link to a site that calculates BMI including frame size; that was the test they gave. Use your thumb and middle finger of your right hand to wrap around your left wrist right where the bones meet. :)

Congrats on the ticker change Kaitie!!!
 
Thought I would post these more accurate b4 pics here, sorry they are so late. I have lost five pounds, but I still can't stand to look at these:
 
Hey Everybody....Just checking in today...How are ya'll feeling???? I feel great today, teaching myself this week about portion control. Wooo HOoo! I have dropped a total of 9 lbs. since becoming a member to this forum! THANK YOU ALL! I AM SO GREATFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! *Keep Up The Good Work*
 
Wow... it sounds like everyone is doing amazing!!!

And Elegance, you're so pretty and your dogs are uber cute! hehe
I really should post some pics of my mutts and mutt cats just b/c I love the little buggers and they deserve it after the many times I've stepped on them while working out heh. :D

Anywho! I measured today and.. some numbers are excellent.. while others (stomach area) aren't....
first set of numbers were taken on the 4th. 2nd were taken a little while ago.

L Upper Mid Arm- 16.3....15.3
R Upper Mid Arm- 16.4....15.3
L Upper Mid Thigh- 28....26.6
R Upper Mid Thigh- 27.6....26.5
Bust- 43....42
Chest (under breasts)- 39.3....37.5
Stomach (above bellybutton)- 40.5....40.6
Waist- 38.2....37.8
Stomach (below bellybutton & also includes some upper butt :p)- 47.5....46.5
Hips- 49....46.5

I'm thrilled about most of them, but the stomach area is just disheartening to see b/c I SO want to lose this fat stomach.
I'm gonna have to try to do more ab stuff b/c I have to see those stomach numbers go down 2 weeks from now.

oh my gosh!!! you are doing so great! keep up the good work!

Yeah, my dogs try to play dance dance revolution wish me, it just doesn't work. :p
 
I think the frame size thing is correct....seems to be for me anyway. I can easily touch both fingers around my wrist. I think that is how it can be determined for sure.

Cute puppies in the pic too. I have a Salt & Pepper Mini Schnauzer puppy. He is a trip!

Edited to add: I also wear a 5 1/2 - 6 size shoe so I think that will help determine bone size. ;)

I'm new at this

I posted on this forum, but soon gave up :mad: It was stupid of me, because I managed to gain 11 pounds in a year, and now I am the heaviest I ever was. I'm in for this challenge...it's never too late, right? I want to lose 10 pounds by Christmas.
 
My "short term goal" is already to lose 15 pounds by christmas, so I guess that would be my entry. And if I manage to lose it before that? Great. :D

This is a really long thread so I've only skimmed through it but it looks like everybodys doing really well :) well done. x
 
Great #'s Amunet! It feels great to see the difference in measurements. I can't seem to find my tape measure but I can't wait to see if there is any change. I try to meaure once a month and even if the scale doesn't show great change some times the measurement will.
 
I really need to kick it into high gear here. I don't want to fall back into my old behavior. I soooo want to feel good about myself when I'm out and about at all the parties, and visiting family, etc. over the holidays. Great job everyone!
