When consciously trying to lose weight, it is normal to get hung up on the number on the scale every morning. However, If the number does not go down from the day before, or seems to be going down by ounces rather than pounds, try not to get discouraged. The scale is only one measure. One thing to notice is the way your clothes are fitting/feeling. If you are losing inches, you may feel that things are fitting better, feeling looser. If you did not measure yourself in inches before starting this challenge, do it today. Write the numbers down as a reference point for yourself. A sewing tape measure works best. Measure in inches.
Bust (around upper body, under arms, across nipples)
Upper Arm (largest part)
Waist (at the natural waistline/narrowest part)
Stomach/Belly (a couple inches below the waist)
Hips (largest part)
Thighs (largest part)
Calves (largest part)
Today is October 3. Don't measure yourself again until November 3. If you are eating healthily and exercising more, these numbers will go down. On November 3, I will post the inches I have lost, not the pounds! Carry on!
