According to Curves

...I have lost 2lbs. And I have lost 1/2 inch off my bust but gained everywhere else. Now, this is something I've known for a long time, but the measurements can vary based on what you're wearing (thick sweats will give different measurements than thin summery clothes) but more importantly, who does the measuring. Different fitness techs will take measurements from slightly different places, and they will also use different tension on the measuring tape. So, after talking with the fitness tech yesterday, I am not going to do my monthly measures on a monthly basis. I'll most likely switch to quarterly, at most. She said the best way to measure progress is by how your clothes fit. Hopefully my clothes will fit better. And I'll weigh myself only in the morning at home, for consistency's sake.

So, here's the plan: my boyfriend is also wanting to lose a bit more weight (he lost over 100lbs over the past year or so), so we will be eating healthy together, and while the weather is nice enough to tolerate being outside, we'll be taking walks. I think we'll be able to find indoor places to walk when it gets hot out. It is so nice to have someone to participate in this journey with me.
