I finally measured

[honeymo78]

So here are my measurements

Waist - 41
Hips - 50
Tummy - 45
Thighs - 42 together, 27 each
Arms - 15

Okay so I had a catalog at home and I checked it to see what size I should be wearing with those measurements and it said 24 for the Lane Bryant catalog. I can't beleive I'm wearing a 16/18. I just got some pants from walmart - george brand - for work. One is a 16 and one is 18 (only b/c that's all they had in grey). They both fit just fine, anything bigger than the 18 would be way too lose at the waist. Granted all my clothes are a bit tighter at the hips but nothing I wear regularly fits too tight as to need a bigger size. I also tried on my LB jeans which were getting tight at the end of last season and they fit with some room - granted they do have a bit of stretch but I bet I'll be back in my LB 14's before too long.

Well hopefully next Monday I'll have some inches lost to report.

I measured myself and wow was I (un)pleasantly suprised! I measured my thighs, individually and found out that one is nearly the size of my waist in 6th grade!

This will give me great incentives for losing. I only wish I measured myself before I lost 12.8 lbs. Oh well, losing weight and inches will still start to show.

This measuring thing puts much into perspective!
