I just started measuring my waist and hips. I feel like a klutz doing it, and recruited my dh to help. I have a 1.5 inch loss showing on my hips since my last measurement 11 days ago. I'd like to be happy about that, but I have a hard time thinking I can really trust the measuring. It seems there is a lot of room for error, being I have so many curves to work around. ::blush::
Everything I read says that taking measurements is a better way to guage progress, since our weight loss can be swayed by so many factors. But, I'm really unsure about how reliable I can be with that.
Any thoughts from my friends out there?
Boy, I just have no idea. Perhaps you could do both? That way if the scale hasn't moved, maybe the inches will have gone down. I'm not sure, Tracy. Do both for a while and see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteWent for another LONG walk with morning in freshly fallen snow - ONE HOUR! YIPPEE! Felt so good - I actually was exhausted though! Came home and had a yummy green smoothie!
Hope you're having a great day!
Thanks for your thoughts, Sue. I am doing both and will continue. In the end, the numbers from the scale or the tape measure won't mean anything compared to how I feel and how my clothes fit. There is where the real progress will show. ;)
ReplyDeleteA one hour walk alone! Wow!! You followed it up with a great choice too. Good work!
