I had to take my measurements for a couple of them and after I finished I was sitting there thinking. (Hurt, yes.) Im not used to doing my measurements in inches and was wondering what the conversion was, so I pulled up my calculator and had a look. I then went to my spreadsheet to find out what my measurements were when I started. I took them but forgot about them pretty quickly. First measurements were taken on the 02/18/04, and last today. I've lost a total of... wait for it... 28 inches in 4 months!!! 6.8" from my waist, 4.3 from my chest, 4.5 from my hips and 3.8 from my abs. Other negligable losses from other parts like thigh, upper arms, calf and neck. Im so very happy! Woohooooo! Donna

At least Im not losing water, Im actually losing fat! Prairiegirl, I've only dropped two sizes (only!) Im not sure if Aussie sizes are the same as American, but I've gone from a 24 to a 20. I have no idea how I fit into some of my clothes now, Im sure they must have been cutting me in half. Thanks Tim :big_smile: Donna

I also wanted to tell you that I loved Australia when I was there 6 years ago. I know that the sizes are different but I don't remember how differance. Keep up with the great work...:big_smile:
PrairieGirl Posts: 136 Joined: 2004/04/22	2004/06/23, 09:33 AM Hey DeeTee - your sizes in Australia are the same as ours here in Canada by the looks of it. Great job on getting to a size 20. I'm at about 24/22 now. Can't wait until the first number isn't a 2!!!!

Australia is a beautiful place, Im very lucky to be here. Where abouts did you visit when you came over? Thanks prairiegirl! Im the same as you, I can't wait until I can get down into the teens. It's a wonderful feeling when you can buy something a bit smaller. Donna
