Wink Induction: Lost 10 pounds and 10.5 inches woo hoo!

Two weeks down.........With the theme from Jaws playing in my head I removed the measuring tape from the closet and looked at the scale lurking in the corner. In the privacy of my bathroom, with 8 glaring light bulbs shining down on the "truth" I was happy to discover that I made it to 185.0 yee haww!
Next came the pesky measurements. If you are in a hurry.... lost 10.50 total inches (took the measurements twice (yuk) and used a calculator.

Not sure if I went over board on the areas to measure but I wanted an accurate record and I am shaped kind of funny. Lot of fat from bellybutton up to bra, that loveliness appeared after my second pregnancy and not exercising after the wee one was born. And of course carbs were my best friends at the time. Anyhow, here are the dirty measurement details:

Chest .50
Under braline 1.25
INch and a half above bellybutton 3.0
Bellybutton 2.50
hips 1.50
Upper arm .25
Upper thigh 1.0
calf .25
neck .25

So to recap, lost 10 pounds and 10.50 inches and I am so chuffed about it!! I figure I will record stats once a week to gauge progress.

cheers everyone!

Goal # 2 Have my thighs become less familiar with one another. I am tired of them rubbing up against each other when I walk.
Goal # 3 Be able to see my back without those flabby rolls under my bra line, you know I could store things in those roll creases, a book to read, small toy etc
Goal # 4 Run a 5k in Sept. and continue this WOE.
