RE: Measuring

I love this idea!!! So, exactly how do we do the measuring. Is it only around our stomachs...or around the waist too? I think two weeks is good, because I know that I loose inches before I loose any weight. So, I'm exctied about this!!! :D

RE: Measuring

here's what I do.

waist, at belly button arms, around biceps hips, around biggest part thighs, around biggest part, for me it's the VERY top if you want you can do calves, for me they and my wrist are itty bitty, always have been so I don't even worry about them.

RE: Measuring

OH and also the chest measurements. I usually just do them once a month but bi-monthly is fine too, either way.

RE: Measuring

you know, I don't think that weird at all. People store their fat in different places and it could very well be that you DO store some there and measuring them would be great for you! To each their own, whatever works!!

RE: Measuring

I almost want to do a full body measure scan of myself in terms of measuring EVERYWHERE! haha atleast than I'll know where I lost the weight if any lol

but yeah,my trainer measures me:

neck, upper bicep on your dominant hand, forearm, chest, belly button for waist, hip, thigh, and calf. Just remember to measure the exact same place each time you do it, or the numbers will be confusing! :)

RE: Measuring

you can get a tape measure to print out offline! You can go to: trainwithmeonline.com and register and there is a part of your profile to fill out on the inches...it says "click here" if you don't have a tape measure and you can print one out!

It's not the best...but serves its purpose!

RE: Measuring

Okay so here are my measurements. Hopefully they are accurate because my nine year old was helping me :) Soooo....here it is YIKES!!!

As of 4/26/08 Waist - 39 Hips - 43 1/2 Wrist - 7 Forearm - 10 Bicep - 12 Thigh - 26 Calve - 15 Chest- 37

So, I am keeping my fingers crossed that in 2 weeks there's a difference!!!!

RE: Measuring

I think the ones that yenni's trainer uses sound good.

neck, upper bicep on your dominant hand, forearm, chest, belly button for waist, hip, thigh, and calf.

Plus the more places we measure, the more inches we can potentially lose from.

Sounds motivating to me.

RE: Measuring

I bought me a new tape measure today! I'll measure in the morning, I figure that's the best time.

RE: What are other ways

I want my "underthings" to fit better! My BUTT is my biggest problem...I went from small panties to large (sorry for the info) and it felt like it was overnight! I had to go buy so much more underwear!

RE: What are other ways

hahha omg! I was thinking the same thing as I read this post. " Gosh I want my underthingies to fit better too!!! "

I think I'll go add that on to my motivation list ;)

RE: What are other ways

I can button my shirts all the way up, instead of wearing a cami underneath and leaving the top few unbuttoned.
