wideeyed Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Here's how I know: 3 week measurement differences (did it early for start of challenge) Over 8 inches gone. Only 3.4 pounds gone. See? Scale lies. Measurements on July 8210.8 45% body fatBust: 44"Waist: 41"Hips: 49"Thigh: 29"Upper Arm 19" Measurements today207.4 42% body fatBust 43"Waist 38"Hips 47"Thigh 26.5"Upper arm 15" The upper arm one is wrong for last time, I think. Dunno. My husband did it last time, and I did it this time with the little guy's help.

Determined Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Scales are the debbil. Measurements rock. Except for bust, because we ladies fluctuate constantly!Well done, sistah! Give the scale the finger for me! Quote Link to comment
wideeyed Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 My fluctuation days are over. Can't blame the PMS for anything. I CAN however, blame general bitchiness on menopause now, so there's a bonus Quote Level 2 Halfling AdventurerStrength 1 Dexterity 1 Stamina 3 Constitution 4 Wisdom 3 Charisma 2Current Challenge ThreadFirst Challenge ThreadFit to Eat: my posts on the Sweatpants & Coffee Site Link to comment

I only have a period about every 3 months, but every month I get bloated and gain weight still I did two years of that nonsense. Two some months, then none for three. It's been a year now, and I don't do the bloat thing anymore. The only thing I miss is the house cleaning berserker mode I used to go into.

Misugrrl Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Woot for you! Yes the scale is being an a-hole to me too. The scale says I've gained 5 lbs (lost the 1 as of this morning), but my clothes are suddenly much larger on me, so its lying. Its a dirty dirty liar. HOORAY FOR YOU!

redcat Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think I may just put the scale on a shelf in the storage closet and stick to the tape measure - way more encouraging. (as is your post!) Way to go!

Guzzi Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yay! Way to go, that's awesome. I'm ignoring the number on the scale these days too and trying to just go on BF%. Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
