mzumtaylor Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I started reading NerdFitness two months ago. I started working out and eating better 7 weeks ago (I'm pretty sure there's a correlation there ). I started really tracking my progress (with pictures, and body measurements, and everything!) three and a half weeks ago. That's when I found the workout scheme I thought would work best for me, and have been sticking with it. This past Saturday, I saw measurable progress (literally) for the first time. (Side note: I'm female, so my measurements are all focused on the lower body, which is where I tend to store my excess fat. I probably should throw my upper arm measurement in there, too...)My initial measurements were:Weight: 172 lbsWaist: 32"3" Below Waist: 36.25"Hips: 42.5"Thigh: 25"Body Fat: 26.5%My current measurements are: Weight: 168 lbsWaist: 31.5"3" Below Waist: 35.75"Hips: 42"Thigh: 24.75"Body Fat: 25.5%The BF% is really approximate because I do not yet own calipers (they're next on the list). The rest of those measurements haven't changed in years. Well, the weigh fluctuates, but until this workout, no matter what I did, the rest of the measurements wouldn't get any lower than those initial numbers. This is the first time my waist has ever be smaller than 32" and I'm stoked.Also, today I made a jump rope, and nearly died using it. It was so much fun. That's all. --- If you want something you've never had, you must be willing to do something you've never done. ~Thomas Jefferson Link to comment
