Monthly Weigh In

Curves weighs and measures you monthly. I've been slinking in all week and avoiding it. I did great the first two weeks, 3 wkouts the third week (Mike came home), 0 the 4th week and 5 this week.

I lost 5 lbs - meaning that I've lost 30 lbs now...5 lbs to my original goal; 10 lbs to Curves goal. I lost 17 inches - yeah - 17 inches. 9.75 of them were in my abs. We measured 4 times and I weighed twice. Unfortunately, my fat percentage went UP 2%. I don't get that - neither did the trainer. I'll talk with the owners about it more next week. Anyone have a clue? How could everything else go down and that go up??? I told her what Gary (exercise physiologist) said about it. He said NOT to take your fat reading in the morning because the ratio is higher before you drink and eat....she didn't think so...but that's the best I can come up with.

This means that I'm going to go ahead and change the ticker, even though it's not Wednesday.

Only 10 more lbs to go!!! though I'm already 14 lbs lighter than before I conceived Stacia.

Did you shower before using the fat percentage machine OR drink caffeine? Those are also things you need to avoid.

Wow, you lost a LOT of inches! Way to go!

Congratulations, De'Etta! You're doing a wonderful job. How neat to think you are already thinner than before Stacia. Interesting to see how slowly the pounds move even though the inches are melting away. :)

Woohoo! Super job! You are doing so terrific.

What do they measure to get the inches lost/gained? I was going to start this as I'm doing 8 minutes in the morning and can feel a difference, but haven't done any measuring.

Keep up the great work.
