Measurements - UPDATED 4/24

Day 1.

I guess this is it. I'm about to share with you, the general internet public, our body measurements. We won't be posting photos today - we will post our beginning photos with our first set of results photos in two weeks. 

Here's a handy chart of what we took measurements of, they may not be the "professional measurement taker standardized locations" or whatever, but it's the areas that we care about and the terms we use...like "fatty waist" which is the fattiest part of our stomachs - we know that this has a technical term but, probably like you, we really don't care or have time to care.

Now, here are our measurements*:

*You'll see that we will use our initials to dictate our column assignment. I wish that Stephanie's name started with a "C" so we could be "A, B, C" but instead we are "A, B, S" which is messing with my OCD. Whatever.

And there you have it...for the world to see.

You can tell by the measurements that we are built a little differently. It will be interesting to see how our different body types react to our diet and exercise. For example, B's legs are smaller than A's as reflected in the measurements but my butt is bigger than hers...which is plain to see...on so many levels.

 

Introduction

Well, here we are. "We" is Amber, Bernadette, and Stephanie. "We" are losing weight. "We" need a community to report to so that we don't sit down and eat an entire cake just because...and by 'just because' I mean 'delicious and fantastic and amazing and moist and chocolatey'.

We are all friends, Amber and Bernadette each have two kids (Amber - 2yrs, 8yrs; Bernadette - 3yrs, 9yrs), Stephanie doesn't have kids...yet.

You'll learn more about us as we make this journey right here in front of everyone. We will each write here so you can read about how we each are feeling as we make our progress, some days we will feel like total badasses and other days we will be crying and begging everyone to just please for the love of God mail us a cookie or just some crumbs of a cookie that you just ate...pretty please.

Here are a few bullet's to make us look professional and important:

• We will post our measurements once per week.
• We will post photos bi-weekly or monthly depending on progress.
• We will be using nutrition and fitness sites for reference that are our favorites, we will credit and link to all information that isn't our own.
• We would LOVE to hear from you in the comments, please keep it positive. Anything hateful or hurtful will be printed and mailed to your momma.
• We will sign our posts with our name so that you know who is the author since we will both be posting.
• We aren't suggesting you do what we do, because we don't know what the hell we are doing - we're just trying our best.

That's about it for now. Stay tuned. Beginning measurements will be posted today.
