Im not sure on my measurements, but i am sure that i have ordered a wedding gown 2 sizes too small!!! Eeek!!

K. Sounds great looks like you lost about 14 pounds. Congratulations

make that thirteen ....gained a pound over night....

sometimes i just want to take the scale outside and run it over. over and over again.

Well, I'll race you to the half way mark! Don't think I can go the whole hog, probs unhealthy! I've really been after this kind of incentive cos I thrive on competition but I thought it was against site rules really...

Anyhoo

Current 146

Height  5'5"

Measure bum 39  hips 37 waist 29.5 (that half inch below 30 means alot to me. biggest diet achievment so far!) chest 37

How often are we doing weigh ins?

I'm not sure that would cause enough damage. Chuck it in a river! Mines glass and im second storey of flats so im sorely tempted sometimes....

I would like to join your contest, albeit a tad late!

Height: 5'10"

Highest weight: 206 (don't wanna ever see THAT number again!)

Current Weight: 198.5

I don't know my measurements at this time, maybe I can find a tape until next week.

Hopefully this challenge and the hope of spring soon arriving will be what I need to get back in gear!  I was down to 189 as of September but I think winter really dragged me down (comfort foods, less outdoor activity, more snacking in general).

Lets just call it keeping track together :)

hey valrocks40, sounds like a fun challenge, Im in. Except Im new to this site, not quite sure how to get back to you to check in.

My weight: 229.6

My height: 5'6"

My BMI: 37

My chest: 44

My waist: 36-(always had small waist big butt and hips)lol

My hip:46

My BOB(big ol butt): 50

Looking forward to the challenge. Good luck to all.

If you receive this I think we can keep in touch. Great, looks we are about the same size this will be a fun challenge. I think this site is a great tool to keep motivated. This is my first week on the site and I can't wait until Monday to check my weight.

I know just what you mean about the weather.  I feel trapped in my home and all I have been doing all winter is eating.  As soon as it warms up I packing up my kids and I am going to start walking and riding my bike.

 Just a reminder Weigh ins are once a week on Mondays This week will be 3/16/09.  Welcome everyone, this will be fun!

I will join in.

My starting weight was 221.8.

My current weight is 187.6.

My height is 5'5 1/2.

I think my current bmi is 30 or 31 (haven't checked in awhile.)

And no idea on my current measurements. I will get them up to date before next monday tho.

Best of luck to everyone,

I would love to join in! I was looking for something like this and Monday is exactly a week for me. I am new.  I am always up for a challenge and best of all we can support each other!

Good Luck!

HEIGHT: 5'8

BMI: 33.6

Not sure of my measurements, so I will give my pants size which is a 16.  Do need to take measurements though...that seems to be a good way to check what you have lost, since some weeks you might not loose in weight, but you have in inches.

You can tag this forum so it is easier to find.

I would love to join, and will try to navigate myself around this site as i am kinda of new.

I don't understand what you guys are measuring, could anyone tell me? I measuer my upper arm around and got eight inches, or ten centimeters. What are the fourties and thirties you guys are getting?

oh i wanna join! i am the most competive person i know! when i lost weight a few years back before i had my kids, my sister and i did it as a compitition. we would pick a goal, says -10lbs, and the loser had to buy the winner a new pair of workout pants or a t-shirt in a smaller size...things like that. i've tried to get her to join with me again in the whole weight loss world but so far she's a no go

but regardless i love to try to beat people lol so here are my stats

i am 5'8"

SW 250

CW 241.5

not sure on measurements but i can get them before monday....

generally people measure around their chest, waist, and hips. some also do upper arms and thighs.

to measure chest: measure around your body at the fullest part of your breasts (like measuring for a bra)

waist: measure around the most narrow part of your trunk...like were the waist of your pants sit

hips: measure around the fullest part of your hips, like around your hips, lower abs, rear end area

it's all like when you are getting fitted for clothes
