Measurements: 2/22/12

Here we go!

As I mentioned in the description, I have already lost quite a bit of weight. My highest weight was 245, and now I'm 192. I'm trying to get off that last 20 pounds or so to get to a healthy BMI and a comfortable size. I'm going to post my measurements here once a month to help keep me accountable. These are my measurements from last week:

2/22/12

Blood Pressure: 109/72
Bust: 40.25
Waist: 34.25
Abdomen: 43
Hips: 42.25
Thighs: 25.5
Arms: 13.5
Weight: 192lbs
Body Fat Percentage: 37.5
Body Fat Pounds: 72lbs

One of the great things about working at Curves is having access to all sorts of tools to measure my success. I like that we check blood pressure, inches, and body fat %, not just pounds.

When you're working out a lot, you gain muscle which is heavier than fat. If I weighed 192 and didn't have all of this muscle, I would probably be a size or two bigger than I actually am! That's why its so important to focus on how you look and feel as a whole, not just the number on the scale.
