Measurements

My measurements as of 5/5/11:


Neck 14  3/4"      after 1 week: didn't measure


upper arms 13 1/2"      after 1 week: no change


chest (above breasts) 40 3/4"          after 1 week: 40"


bust  45 3/4"       after 1 week: 45"


waist (ribs) 38"         after 1 week: 37 1/2"


hips (including gut!)  44 7/8"          after 1 week: 44 3/4"


thighs  right - 24"   left - 25"       after 1 week:  23 1/2"  &  24 1/4"


calves  right - 15"   left - 14"      after 1 week: right  13 1/4"

I wear size 14 jeans, x-large shirt (I'm beginning to have to shop in the plus size area of stores), my bra size is 42D. I would like to get down to sz 8 jeans, medium shirt and 36C. I have been that size before so I know its possible :)
I also found that my "ideal weight" is 134 lbs to 138 lbs. (thanks Caitlin for the widget). This is a good thing to know because before when I got down to 137 I had people telling me I looked like I was anorexic - really I think they were just jealous! :)

After 1 week:  I don't feel any slimmer - even though I have lost 10 lbs since loading. My clothes aren't fitting any better. But I have heard that it takes about 14 lbs or so before you start feeling different. We'll see :)
P.S. I only measured my right calf out of curiosity. I had surgery on my right foot 3 weeks ago. I will update the other calf and neck later.
