Final Measurements (End of 8 Week Personal Challenge)
I don’t have any new pics to post as of right this second, but I’ll get some on here as soon as I can. (I’m not good at that stuff, and it’s a hassle for me, so please bear with me. 
)
But for anyone interested, here are the results of my 8 week challenge to myself.
Starting Measurements: Ending:
bicep: 11 inches 11 (-0)
chest: 35 inches 33.5 (-1.5)
waist: 28.5 inches 28 (-.5)
33 inches at belly button 31.5 (-1.5)
hips: 36 inches 34.5 (-1.5)
upper thigh: 19.5 inches 18.75 (-.75)
calf: 13.75 inches 13 (-.75)
Weight: 129.5 lbs 127.5 (-2 lbs)
I didn’t really have any “set” goals for this challenge; I just wanted to see how well I could do. 2 lbs is almost embarrassing, but it really does take me a long time to lose weight. I go through a lot of back and forth, like lose 2 lbs one week, gain 1 the next week, etc…. And I gained a FEW lbs over the Labor Day weekend, so I’m pretty happy with a 2 lb loss over the last several weeks. I’m *very* surprised by the inches lost, though slightly saddened that so many of them came from my chest area. No big surprise though! lol I knew I was getting plenty smaller up there! Happy that I got a couple of inches off my tummy, though I’d like to shed still more.
I’m thinking that Autumn officially starts tomorrow and ends on December 20…. Maybe a little pre-Christmas personal challenge is in order. I want to set some specific goals and workout plans this time through; give me the evening to think it over and I’ll be back tomorrow.

WOW you are doing awesome! Its good to see the inches come off. CONGRATS!!
well you are small anyway your body might just be done loosing and just loosing all them inches shows how well you did.. that is lots of inches lost in 8 weeks. what did you all do to get there.
Man what a small waist!!! I think you are doing wonderful.
Whoa!! Doing good! You are tiny!
Thanks guys! I’ve just been running and lifting weights, and doing toning exercises like lunges and squats. (And ab work at least 3 times per week.) I’m not even doing low restrictions on my calories; I’m trying to keep around 1800 cals/day. I figure if I go too low, I won’t build much muscle, but if I go too high, I won’t burn as much fat, so for now that’s a good medium, I think.
