Donna’s Fatloss blog Day 39

Just a few more days to go, but I couldn’t wait to take my measurements again. I was curious to see if my arms had budged at all (I started measuring them around week 3 or 4). I lost only about ¼” inch, but at least it’s something. On the other hand, my waist measures 28”—it was 31” on Sept. 14—and my hips are 39”, down from 41-1/2”. I’d like to lose at least another inch from both, which I think is good for a woman my height (about 5’ 6-1/2” to 5’ 7”) and age (over 40).

Another late night tonight, so it’s a good I worked out this morning.
