I measure once a month. This morning, for the first time I can remember, my BELLY measurement (the biggest part of my lower abdomen) is not larger than my HIP meaurement (the biggest part of the hip area including my butt)! Yea! It measured the same. Maybe next month it will even get to be smaller than my hips (here's hoping!). No wonder my pants are fitting better.

My belly measurement started out a whopping 49.5". Now it is 36" - not tiny by any means, but getting there.

My hip measurement started out at 48". Now they are at the same 36".

Since I am in my last 13 pounds, I am really starting to focus on doing toning / firming exercises, and will be trying to whittle my waist down. Since my ankle is stronger now after recovering from the bad sprain, I am going back to Zumba - that should get my waist smaller.

For you new folks, take your measurements before you start losing. Sometimes, the measuring tape can really show your loss better than the scale does.

Congrats! That is a great nsv!

Congrats!!!

Awesome!!! Congratulations you sexy mamma!

I can't wait for that to happen for me! I'm sure you are on top of the world! :biggrin:

Love this!! Congrats!!!

Great NSV... congrats!

I agree the tape measure is more of a friend to me that the scales; I haven't lost a pound for 6 weeks... but in that time I have dropped a trouser size????

Cheers to the hourglass! SK you're doing sooo wonderful. *hugs*

Love it! And I totally agree about the measuring tape, plus it will help you determine your size when you are able to try and shop for smaller clothes. It is a jungle out there!

So awesome! Congrats!
