Just Cruising

Not much new going on today.  Just cruising along with the diet.  I'm 3 days in, starting on my 4th, and I'm right on track. 

I was noticing how when you're losing weight it comes off in the weirdest places (and never in the places you want it to!!!)  My big ass stomach is always the last place the weight comes off, which irritates the crap out of me.  Right now, I appear to be losing in the lower part of my arms??  Between my elbow and my hand.  I was washing my hands last night in front of the bathroom mirror and noticed these "lumps" right above my wrists.  Turns out they're muscles...never knew they were there under the fat, lol.  I've also got veins popping out right close to my wrists that I've never seen before.  And where I've always had kind of pudgy hands, I can now see the bones moving in them when I'm doing things like typing or washing dishes.  Kinda' cool, but I still wish my stomach would go down.  Or maybe my hips.  I've got overabundant hips.  The 3 pairs of size 22 pants I bought a week and a half ago don't even touch my waist after I've had them on for 3-4 hours.  But thanks to my hips, I can wear them just fine.  I'm looking forward to another couple of weeks when I can buy some size 20's.  I was 240 lbs at my last weigh-in a week ago.  I fully expect to be down into the mid 230's by next Wed.  I'm doing what it takes to get the weight off, and I expect to see my efforts rewarded on the scale.  :)

  2. I lose it in my fingers first. Who cares about skinny fingers?

  3. I have noticed that too. My waist doesn't seem to be losing with the rest of my body. I have actually started doing abdominal crunches and reverse crunches to help target that area. Hopefully my measurements will show some kind of change next week.
