I'm in!!!
However, Sunday mornings may not be the best time for me as I may be sleeping over at my parents or my in-laws as they live closer to most of the parties/gatherings we get invited to! It's quite a distance back home, especially in the wee hours of the night when everyone is sleeping in the car and I have to drive!!

Anyways, I'll either do Sunday morning or Monday morning.
I think it's a good idea. The only thing I've been measuring is BMI so far.

@shy, no matter, sunday or monday, but plz measure it once a week, plz fix a day for it, i have fixed sunday, but think that monday may be a better option for me too. :)

My original weigh in day was Wednesday but I will move it up so that I can be in sync with my buddies!

My computer was down ~ I was lost without everyone's support and encouragement. So glad everyone is here! The of what Hope everyone has a good healthy weekend!

i will hv to purchase one inch tape first,
i lost .6 lbs this week, i am posting my weight as per my new digital scale-- i am 89.2 kg (196.65 lbs)

though this loss (.6 lbs is much smaller to my 1st week loss, i m happy that i m at least in 80s now, lolz

Okay girls!!!!
I'll be the first to document everything. Someone's gotta be first, right???

Monday October 22, 2012
Weight: It appears that my scale needs new batteries as it was going between two weights; 155.0 lbs and 154.5 lbs. Hmm .... which one should I go with?
BMI: 25 (at 155.0 lbs) or 24.9 (at 154.5 lbs)

Chest; 29 1/2 inches (I am confused if we're to measure our bust or just under the bust at the chest. So I measured under the bust as that's how I used to do it)
Waist: 32 3/4 inches
Hips: 41 3/4 inches
Thigh; 20 3/4 inches
Arm: 11 1/4 inches

Note: I have lost 5 lbs or 5 1/2 lbs in one week. This is crazy and unheard of for me! I had gained a few pounds back after our Canadian Thanksgiving (which seemed to last for two weeks) and maybe all that weight needed to be shed. I'm excited to be the lowest I have been.

@Raymh: Glad to see you. I was wondering what happened to you as you were the one who inspired this whole group!
I'm glad I found my tape measure. I haven't used it in years.
I'm happy for you that you are now in the 80's. That's a great accomplishment and you should be proud. Just remember that you cannot lose the same amount of weight week after week. The first weight to come off is usually all the water weight. Unfortunately, it starts to get harder after the initial loss.

BTW, what do you girls think I should use as my current weight? 155.0 or 154.5????

I may stick with my original weight in day, for some reason I like weighing myself on Wednesday. It's a weird OCD thing so you'll see you my weight and measurement Wednesday!

@raymh ~ all weight loss is better than again. Look at what you did week 1 versus week 2.

@shy16 I would go with the 154.5! that 5 1/2 pounds gone is awesome. Keep up the good work we will eventually all get to our goals ladies!

Sorry for the multiple postings of the same message. Does anybody know how to get rid of them? I did send the question in to the company to find out.

I wasn't around to weigh myself on Monday or to take measurements. I was stranded out of town as my car broke down. I'm still trying to get it fixed and will have to travel out of town to, hopefully, pick it up today.
I will continue to weigh in and measure myself next Monday when all this dust has settled down!
