Hi all,

Great seeing everyone's results. I don't have any photos yet - DH keeps leaving the digital at work. But here are my inches in before/after format:

weight: 198/179.5
bust 40.5/39
waist 35.5/33.25
abdomen: 41.5/38.5
thigh: 26.5/24.5
calf: 18/17.25
bicep: 13.5/12.5
wrist: 6.75/6.25
hips: 44/41

total inches lost: 14

I wish I could chalk all that up to exercise, but I really slacked off in June after doing well in April and May. I'm back on the bandwagon now, though! Need to do something about this jiggle!

I went on your link and I couldn't see the pictures! Says they are invalid?

Well thank you all.....we did great the past 3 month We should be very proud of each other.

Everyone knows by now that Linda is doing the next challenge July 15, so I'll see you there She has the rules and regulations linked to her signature

On we go to get this killer body...

A little late, but here are my July 1 numbers. Was camped in the wilderness of Utah, and could not post until today:

Neck 17.5 16.25

Bicep 15 14.5

Forearm 12.5 12.5

Wrist 7.125 7

Chest 48 46

Waist 45.5 44

Hips 44.5 44

Thigh 23.5 23

Calf 15.5 15.5

Ankle 8.75 8.50

A total loss of 6.125 inches and a loss of 9 pounds in fat.

But, perhaps the most important was a marked increase in physical fitness and strength. I am still doing my Canadian Air Force routine before breakfast, and weight lifting has improved significantly. Upped all my weights during this challenge period. Now can do 2 full pullups and 20 pushups on the bar, plus working on dips as well.

Thanks for the inspiration, and the keeping up my motivation to continue working. This challenge helped me to work through a major setpoint, and now that I am below 220#, finally, I can speed on toward losing the rest of the fat, and toward increasing my fitness and strength even more.

Keep on, keepn' on!!

WW you did great!!!!! Wonderful inch and weight loss Lets go on with Linda..she is starting the 15th with her challenge

Keep up the sweat

Befores and Afters are now posted in my journal for your viewing pleasure.

Here are my after pictures. The lighting wasn't very good and it was done with the camera for the computer. Hopefully the ones I do for Linda'a challenge will turn out better.

Cait, super results!! You must be very pleased with yourself I am looking forward to the next challenge

Have a great Friday evening

Thanks Mischa! I also want to say thanks for starting this challenge. If it hadn't been for the challenge, I wouldn't be so close to goal and I wouldn't be on track for walking the half marathon. I owe it all to you babe!

Cait, thanks you make me feel good by saying this. I enjoyed the challenge as well and need a few more month of motivation Or a life time better

hugs

Hi Beth - *poof*

You look fantastic! WTG!!!

Lessara: sorry about the tardy reply; I've been out of town. The pics all work fine for me. Perhaps there was a database error with the new software...
