Just Measured Myself! Wow!

So... my surgery was April 16th and it's been about a month since I have measured myself...

I am happy to report that 10 inches have fallen off my Hips, Waist AND Chest!!! So, 30 inches in just those 3 key areas!! I am so happy that I am losing inches evenly!!! I was a good size 24/26 and am now fitting comfortably in a size 18... YAY!!

Did I mention that I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!! Best decision I have EVER made and best money I have EVER spent!!!! :D

    Inches were definitely one thing that I wanted to track so I am glad that I created a log. When I would stall and the scale stopped I found that I would lose inches so it was very comforting!!

    It's never too late to start!! :)

    Just basic toning (free weights. sit-ups, etc..) at home... I am not a gym freak and the only cardio I get is yard work and some walking here and there...
