Fat Woman With A Band

Jackie sent me numbers, and as I’m all about numbers as you might have already figured out, I’m going to share them.

These numbers are the change in my body measurements. When I started training with her she took a baseline measurement of my shoulders, chest, biceps, waist, hips, thighs, and calves. And I’ve been pretty diligent about weighing myself each Wednesday morning.

I won’t bore you with the individual numbers, so here’s the summary:

total of 54.5 cm/21.5 in & 31 lbs/14kg lost in 282 days.

There was some change in each area with the most change in my hips, chest, shoulders, and waist. And with the least change in calves, biceps, and thighs.

There are a couple of other changes that are also all about numbers. The most obvious is the change in clothing size. I don’t actually remember what my clothing size was then, but I do know it’s a smaller number now. The “hidden” change is that my cholesterol numbers have decreased enough that I no longer need to take prescription medication.

As I’ve lamented the scale has not moved in many, many weeks. When I look at the measurement numbers my body has clearly changed even if the scale doesn’t reflect that change. Some day the scale will catch up … some day. Sigh.

I’m content with my progress. I wonder what the next 282 days will bring?
