Weigh In Wednesday

I think this just solved itself! October 1st sounds like a good day to start the program. That way we don't have to wait to weigh and Kim is getting her scales today, so it's ON. I am listing my stats below for today. I'll check my comments to see what your's are and then we will weigh every Wednesday. I am listing my main measurements, also. That is up to you and how much you want to reveal in the comment section. If you would prefer to e-mail me with any of this info, that's ok, but I think we will get you past that as you lose. As we lose, I'll try to add tools to help keep track and list some of the sites you are already telling me about. We can do this!

Well, here goes...

Height 5' 3-3/4"

Weight 179 pounds

Measurements (in under things)

Bust 41 inches
Waist 38 inches
Hips 46-1/2 inches

I choose not to measure arms and legs, as I don't want to get bogged down in "total inches lost", as that is just too much for me.

That's it, it's official! Come join me and keep me honest!

I'm in! This is a great day to start, as I'm being watched by a glass pumpkin full of Candy Corn as I type this!!!!

Age: 41
Height: 5'9
Weight: 175
Bust: 41"
Waist: 37 1/2"
Hips: 44

And here is something funny. As I was measuring my waist, I kept getting 19". I honestly measured twice thinking "wow, this isn't so bad!", until I noticed my tape measure was backwards!!!!!

O.K., so here we go...........

lol Kim, lots of women would DIE for that 19" waist! (I'm thinkin' whalebone stays here.)

Age: 40
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 196
Bust: 39"
Waist: 36"
Hips: 47.5"

Target weight: 150 (but I won't snark at 160)

If any of you are looking for a sugar/artificial sweetener substitute (for tea and coffee), try Agave nectar (the light, haven't tried the darker stuff yet). It's available in whole/natural food stores (Kroger carries the dark), has a low glycemic index, and tastes very mild. It's NOT zero-calorie, though, so has to be counted in daily consumption.

My, my, but you gals are tall. Thanks for posting your stats.

Kim, I want to see a shot of you with Candy Corn teeth!

Diann, whalebone stays...can you imagine? What we ladies have done over the years. Yikes! I will check out the Agave nectar, thanks for that tip.

Ok! I bought the scale. I hate the scale!
Age: 46
height:5'9
weight: 198
Bust: 45"
waist: 38"
hips: 48"
Wow, that was hard!
My goal weight is anywhere from 160-175. Anything below that and I look sickly. I am tall with a large frame.

Susan, I started a new blog for this and I called it "Meeting the Goal".

I missed your Wednesday post! I weighed last night after my first week...only 1.5 pounds down last week, but it's 1.5 less than last Monday when I photographed the scales. 182.3

I'll be back on Wednesday and start keeping up with the regular Wednesday weigh in.

Later,
Cookie
