***EDIT FOR DAILY DETAILS***

Weight same as yesterday, to be expected as I ate at maintenance yesterday. Was hungry all day(and having cheese rolls in the house didn't help, whoops) then my husband came home and grilled, lol. It was yummy though and I didn't over maintenance, so no complaints here. I've more or less came to the conclusion I am going to have a couple higher calorie/maintenance days a week, I'm ok with that so long as the over all trend remains downwards and I am not eating over maintenance levels of calories.

Morning Peak Flow 410

Going to end the week with a 45min bike ride and hopefully get back up to 60 minutes by end of next week. Planning to reintroduce video workouts the following week.

Insomnia strikes again ;-) So I thought I'd try the measurement thing I see some of you doing.

12/1/2013 measurements Waist- 33.00" hips- 42.00" bust- 40.00"
3/21/2014 measurements Waist- 32.25" hips- 41.25" bust- 39.25"

edit(for those who use cm)
Befor W-84cm, H-107cm, B- 101.5cm
Now W-82cm, H-105cm, B-99.5cm

The top measurements were what I gave my soon to be sil for ordering bridesmaid dresses for her wedding. Using the same tape measurer I have for sewing, knitting, crocheting. I feel like I haven't seen a lot of change in how clothing fits. I had to order new back braces last month because the old ones were tightened as far as possible to give the same support, but otherwise, despite being more then 8lbs down I am in the same clothes and look the same to myself in the mirror. Is 3/4ths of an inch is a significant loss or not really?

I need an outside opinion, I don't really know what's what on measurements, I've only paid attention to the scale befor. Last time I was at 155 I was a size 8(I only know that because my Aunt died of cancer and I went to buy funeral clothes at New York and Company and was surprised my size was 8), but then I was running, doing yoga and strength training (not lifting but like legs, arm, etc exercises). Right now I'm a 10 or 12 depending on the brand. So I assume there was a lot more muscle versus fat then I have now with only biking atm.

That is a significant amount of loss! Very inspiring, continue your journey, and you will continue to see results. You're one step closer then you were yesterday. (:

I think any loss is significant :) because, if you keep that life style, the pace doesn't matter since you will eventually get to your goal. Sorry for your Aunt! When it comes to muscle VS fat, it's extremely difficult to tell which is which, even for professional bodybuilders. If you were doing more upper-body exercise, it stands to reason that you would have a little more muscle mass (not too much though since that's not as anabolic-type or muscle building exercise as weight training for example). But you're doing great! :)

I don't know if this helps but I've lost 12 kgs, 7 cm in waistline, 8 cm in breasts and about 6 cm in hips. My trainer said that the waistline should reduce by 1 cm with every kilo lost, but my body doesn't fallow this rule - it's minus ~0,6 cm per kilo :) I calculated, that you have the same reduction rate as me. :)

Well done! Maybe I will do some measurements. I had not thought to do that...

Ty all for the insight! Ty marissa very true! Ty euheide, your feedback is always spot on =) Gabi, I appreciate knowing I'm on the same page with someone else, that's what I was wondering... is this normal? Lol Cheese, I hadn't either but they seemed to be giving others a better way of tracking, I think I may try to do a weekly measure or something, maybe every Friday or possibly Sunday when I do challenge check ins.

I measure on fridays and just had to start doing an around bottom measurement because apparently I've been measuring too far up on the hips.lol. I think important is getting the same spot every week and doing it first thing in the morning before food and drink and after toilet!

You are so correct! There are days where your eating will be in control but don't deprive yourself either... now pass me one of those cheese rolls ;)
