Take Your Measurements!!!

Take your measurements at the start of your dietbet game.

I have not done this before, but I do take my measurements occasionally. And because i have that hideous duct-tape dummy, I know what I looked like - well my size at least - before dietbet in January 2015. Today I am so many inches smaller! woot woot!!!

Now I have walked and walked and walked DAILY I have walked and walked and walked... Did I mention I have walked!!! and I had hoped to see a half pound down each day, because I have not walked, I have WALKED! 18,000-20,000 steps walked! but this morning I was the same as yesterday. <sob>

But I feel smaller, as I touched my waist.... got out that tape measure and sure enough, another quarter inch down in just a couple of weeks!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! <happy dance>

of course... I would prefer to see the scale go DOWN 1.3 pounds in the next 4 days!!!!! Fingers Crossed.

But I do think I will try to remember to encourage my team players to MEASURE themselves on the first day of the game! ((If I forget, please remind me!!! Or you post that reminder for everyone!!!))

and of course --- consider joining my game!--> https://www.dietbet.com/games/68494/activity

and Valerie is organizing a game also --> https://www.dietbet.com/games/68571/activity

the more you risk the more likely you will want to WIN - thats the theory anyway!

measurements are a great way to measure progress!! Louise, I am the same way with my walking as you are, the more I walk the more I think I should lose. I forget to celebrate the non scale victories. the number of steps I get in a day, the time I didn't spend on the couch, the fact that yes my clothes are fitting better, even maybe needing a smaller size!! Lets celebrate all the little things we do to make the big difference!! YOU ROCK!!!!

Hey, I just measured myself for the first time in don't know how long today. Wish I'd done it earlier; I know I've lost inches by the pants that I took to the thrift shop.
