Week 4 weight: 218.5

Neck start: 15.5 Week 4: 15

Waist (over the belly button) Start: 44 Week 4: 42.5

Thighs start: 22.5 Week 4: 21.5

hips start: 39.8 Week 4: 38

I'm kinda bummed about the scale weight. When I have dieted before I

had more of a dramatic weight loss but I am weight training more

intense than I ever had so I must be putting on muscle weight. I

have pictures but I think I'm going to wait until week 8 to post. I

don't want to scare anyone. haha

Next week I'm gonna get my body fat measured. I didn't get it

measured until the saturday of week one. We'll see what they say.

It's good to see results with the tape measure.

I too am a recovering scale addict... if my weight doesn't move, I panic

and think that I've done something wrong. I guess I've been brainwashed by

that mode of thinking that states " THIS is the weight you should be " . As I

have learned from many people on this list, scale weight is not an accurate

indicator of one's fitness, because the scale does not take into account

lean muscle mass versus fat. I try real hard to stay off of the scale, but

some times I do slip and get on.

For this challenge, I'm going to weight myself once when I start, and once

when I am done. If the scale moves, fine... if not, I won't be discouraged

because my measurements should tell the true story.
