Seriously "Tape your butt!!" If you don't you'll regret it!

Measure ONCE A WEEK.

When you hit your 3 week stall, or the scale is giving you fits because it will not move, the tape will stop the fretting over the scale.

Least week I lost 1 lb, 3 week stall coming to an end. But I lost 3 total inches in size.

So what, ignore the scale, all the biology/chemistry stuff happening in there I have no clue why some days I drop 3 lbs in a day, and some weeks I could only shed 1 lb. But the tape don't lie, and that is what I want to see shrinking!

So go tape your butt!
I'm blogging this post that Numbers from West Kentucky wrote earlier today.

I have to admit that for some reason I was utterly avoiding taking my measurements, maybe self denial on my part. But Numbers makes a good argument and point. Specially since this morning my scale moved 5 oz up and I'm hoping it was the two exercise days I have had. Either way it's on record and I will make it a weekly habit to keep me grounded and focused and grateful for any changes that occur in my transformation.

So to para quote Numbers, do yourself a favor and "Go tape your butt NOW!"

Despite that I feel I'm still qualified to be a sumo wrestler here are my measurements:

6/02/2016:

Neck: 15.3"
Biceps: 16"
Bust: 47"
Waist: 42"
Hips (Butt): 50"
Thighs: 28"

Height: 5' 6.5"
Current Weight: 216.4lbs
Current Body Fat Mass: 48.3
Current BMI: 34.9

I am upset, but glad I finally did it, my only consolation is that I'm two dress sizes from my biggest weight 20-->16.
O.o

    That's what I always say....I also say take a selfie. Wear the same outfit and take a full body pic once a week/bi-weekly or monthy. The scale messes with us, the pics and numbers on the tape don't lie

    I started logging my measurements from day one. I will check it the same time every month just to see if anything is changing. I still have 4 months before surgery so I still have a long ways to go.

    I totally regret not measuring and taking photos! My thoughts were that I "didn't want a reminder of how miserable I was". Now I wish I did, so I could compare my before and after!
