MARCH 6 - WEEK 103 RESULTS

I do not weigh myself on the bathroom scale.  I am taking my waist, neck and hip measurements each day.

I tracked my food three days this past week, and the other days I ate pretty much on plan.

Today is my weekly measuring day. In the past 7 days:

I lost 0.125" around my bust
I lost 0.75" around my midriff

I lost 0.875" around my waist
I lost 0.25" around my navel
I lost 0.25" around my hips
