    Ok. Here are my measurements from last week and this week. I've been doing shred for a week, gym 3 times but not changed my eating habits and eaten loads of chocolate. This is a bit embarrassing, so please bear in mind I'm 5'9".

    Left arm: [STRIKE]13" [/STRIKE] 12.6" 2- 0.4 inch
    Right arm: [STRIKE]12.5"[/STRIKE] 12.4" - 0.1 inch (clearly I need to work this one more)
    Upper waist: [STRIKE]32" [/STRIKE]31" - 1 inch
    Lower waist: [STRIKE]35" [/STRIKE]34.5" - 0.5 inch
    Hips: [STRIKE]41"[/STRIKE] - 40.5" -0.5 inch
    Thighs: [STRIKE]25"[/STRIKE] - 24.5" - 0.5 inch

    waist (narrowest part) = 30 inches
    waist (around belly button) = 33 inches
    hips = 37.5 inches
    right thigh = 21 inches

    Feeling good tonight after going to a Zumba and toning class, so measured myself.

    My chest now measures 30 inches = 2 inches lost
    Waist (narrowest part) 28 inches = 2 inches lost
    Waist (around belly button) 32 inches = 1 inch lost
    Hips 33 inches = 4.5 inches lost :T
    Right thigh 20 inches = 1 inch lost.

    I'm over the moon! I think the people who said my weight hadn't changed due to muscle, may have been right, because my body shape certainly has!
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Wow sexymouse, that's fantastic, well done you!!
    I've been really naughty this week and had a big night out on Friday. I had way too many glasses of wine and lager, so im not even gonna bother weighing this week because it'll only de-motivate me when it turns out bad!
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

    Measurements for this week. I didn't shred two nights because I was too tired but I did go to the gym. I am eating normally.

    Left arm: [STRIKE]13" [/STRIKE] [STRIKE]12.6" [/STRIKE] 12" - 0.6"
    Right arm: [STRIKE]12.5"[/STRIKE] 12.4" - 12" - 0.4"
    Upper waist: [STRIKE]32" [/STRIKE][STRIKE]31"[/STRIKE] 30.5" - 0.5"
    Lower waist: [STRIKE]35" [/STRIKE][STRIKE]34.5" [/STRIKE] 34" - 0.5"
    Hips: [STRIKE]41"[/STRIKE] - [STRIKE]40.5"[/STRIKE] 40 - 0.5"
    Left Thigh: [STRIKE]25"[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]24.5" [/STRIKE] 22.5" - 2"
    Right thigh: [STRIKE]25"[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]24.5[/STRIKE]" 23" - 1.5"

    I appear to have actually gained weight which does not make me a happy bunny, but I'm telling myself it's muscle. :rotfl:

    I seem to consistently be losing 0.5 inches per week which is pretty good.

    Well I've lost another inch around the narrowest part of my waist - it's now 27 inches, but the rest of my body has stayed the same. My tummy is definitely looking a lot more toned and flatter though, and the muscles on my tummy look more defined. Just need to lose some inches off my thighs and bum now then.

    Day 1 measurements (eek!)
    Left arm: 12.5"
    Underbust: 27"
    Overbust: 34"
    Waist (narrowest): 27"
    Waist (widest): 31"
    Hips: 37.5"

    Wish me luck! How is everyone else getting on?
