Week 18 Weigh in

A ha! I actually remembered to post my weigh in ON the day!

Week 18 is almost done.... I weighed in this morning at the clinic at 160.4 and 33.7 BF%. At home I always weigh less because of clothing AND I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I weighed 159.5 at home so I'll take that as my current weight.

I also lost the following:
1/4" arm
1 1/4" underarm
1/2" thorax
1/4" waist (lower)
1/4" thigh

Chest and hips stayed the same.

According to the clinic I've lost 42.7 and 35+ inches (not accounting for the other arm or thigh).

I'm getting ready to phase off people! I still need to lose a minimum of 10-12 lbs but once I hit size 6 I am outta phase one!!! I'm hoping my body fat comes down... it's really fighting me with my stupid hormones. I still have my period to contend with (day 17....enough is enough!) so it's messing up my body fat readings. The good thing though, this means I'm burning body fat because that's where are the hormones are stored and that's why my cycle is messed up. Once it's burned up and the hormones are released into the blood stream, they have to work their way back out of the body. It takes time obviously. Too much time....

Oh well, at least they're leaving with that stubborn body fat! I can't get over the fact that I'm losing the fat around my belly, butt and thighs! This is all worth it in the long run. And this is such a short time span to lose 40+ lbs, right? Right.
