Plus Size Bloggers - March 1

Ok, so Plus Size Bloggers has a new challenge.  Record and find the difference in the number of inches in a month.  Yikes.  I have NEVER taken measurements before.  I wasn't even sure I did it right.  I did it once and then again just to make sure I was doing it in the right place.  They seemed consistent.  Seems to me that in only one month, it will be hard to determine a half inch or so.  We'll see.  I'm just doing it for fun.  I have several shirts that I was able to fit into this weekend.  That is proof enough that inches are going away. 


■Neck = 14.25


■Upper Arm Left  = 15.0

■Upper Arm Right = 15.0

■Chest = 48

■Waist = 52

■Abdomen = 45

■Buttocks (6″below waist) = 54

■Upper Thigh left = 23

■Upper Thigh right = 23

■Calf left = 18

■Calf right = 17

■Upper Knee left = 19.5

■Upper Knee right = 19.5

■Total Inches = 363.5

Plus Size Bloggers - Week 4

I think we're in week 4? I had to review the rules just to make sure.  I like online challenges.  I like "having" to post my weight and report to someone.  Sounds silly but it works for me. I feel obligated and accountable.  I also am not generally a quitter. So when I start something, I like to finish it, even if I am not successful. That being said, I have in the past quit at some of the Plus Size Blogger challenges.  Oops!  Well, no more. I started and won't quit. 

I enjoy seeing the progress of others as well.  There aren't too many in this challenge but I believe they will be doing it monthly.  I'm not sure.  If you're interested in checking it out, it might be a good motivation for you to succeed!  They'll be starting another one in March.
