Update: I don't know if I measured incorrectly the first time or if this whole eating right and exercising thing is actually working, but my waist is now coming in at a 35.
Starting stats.
As promised, here are the numbers I'm working with. (And actually...my waist measurement HAS gone down since I started a month ago. In fact, there is now actually a difference between my waist and hip measurement. As friends and family can attest, even when I was thin, I never really had a dip in my waist; I just went straight down. So the fact that there's a differential actually thrills me. I keep putting my hand on my side and feeling that inner curvature.)
Okay, enough stalling.
Bust: 42
Waist: 36 (and remember, that's actually smaller than it was. It used to be, like, 105)
Hips: 39
My main concern and focus, obviously, is that middle number.
So there we go. I'm putting them out there for the world to see. Be kind.
We'll see how much we can get those numbers to change in the next few months.

Wow - you guys have so much to worry about. I thought it was just a weight loss thing. Y'know -just lose ten pounds and then you're done. I guess not. Good luck.
Of course, the hardest part is keeping it off. It's so danged easy to cheat a bit here, then cheat a bit there; suddenly the weight starts bouncing back.
At least I know I'm talking to ladies with healthy boobs. (Can I say that?)
Did Fred just call us fat?
Oh, and I meant to say, Renee--good goal. I'm still doing my goal by weight instead of inches...but a 30 in waist sounds good to me, too. I'd be happy if the hips stayed where they are, roughly (maybe a couple inches less).
Yeah, and " Y'know -just lose ten pounds and then you're done. I guess not." LOL.
Thanks for defending me, Renee. Jen's a bit touchy, and she's not even deprived of her favorite foods yet.
I am TOO deprived of my favorite foods.
Well, okay, not "deprived." But I've cut way down. And that's not fun either.
I'm never gonna have an hourglass figure, though. You guys have seen me--I'm just not built that way. I just want to get my numbers down and I'll be happy.
Like tonight, for my snack when I got hungry, I had freakin' carrot sticks. THAT IS NOT FULFILLING, REFRESHING **OR** SATISFYING.
I saw something the other day and it said that the average woman wears a size 14 pants and I know you're smaller than me!
I'm proud of you and keep up the awesome work.
I would put my measurements up, but I honestly don't know them. I just work out and don't get into all the statistics. Just a word of advice: I know you've got specific goals and all, but don't make it such a numbers game. Just do your workout,eat better, and you'll start to see the improvement. If you focus on the numbers only, it's really easy to get downhearted and you can mentally destroy yourself. Best of luck to you in your quest!
Good points, Nik.
