Starting Statistics

Since I'm putting this all out on the internet, it is tempting for me to be cagey about my weight and measurements as I go along. It's not something I'm proud of, after all! But I'm proud of the weight I'm losing, and the fact that I'm fat is hardly a secret. May as well put it all out there!

All About Me:
Age: 32
Height 5'6
Starting Weight: 263.6 lbs
Current Weight: 243.4 lbs
Total Weight Lost: 20.4 lbs

Measurements (done with my super-scientific "wrap a string around yourself at the widest points and measure the string" method)

Neck: 17.5"
Upper Arm: 16"
Bust: 51"
Waist: 48"
Hips: 54"
Thigh: 30"
Calf: 16"

And that is after 33 visits to the gym! So even though I didn't take beginning measurements, it's a decent measuring stick for the rest of the journey.

And finally, pictures!
