It's Saturday! For me, that means time to get the tape measure out. I am pretty excited about the results. Some areas lost quite a bit in the last week; others nothing at all. But the progress is definitely evident! inches lost are from the first of my 2-part fast:

Waist ............... - 3.0"
Above Bust .......... - 1.5"
Below Bust .......... - 1.5"
Full Bust ........... - 1.25"
Neck ................ - 0.625" (5/8")
Hips/Belly .......... - 1.5"
Thighs .............. - 0.5" each
Knees ............... - 1.0" each
Calves .............. - 1.25" each
Ankles .............. - 0.5" R and - 0.375" L (3/8")
Upper Arms .......... - 0.5" each
Lower Arms .......... - 1.0" R and - 0.75 L
Wrists .............. - 0.375" each (3/8")
TOTAL inches LOST: 19.25"

Beginning Weight 242.5 (at the beginning of the first of 2-part fast.)
Highest Weight 251 (highest official weight, as far as I can remember)
Current Weight 215.5

I need to lose another 23.5 pounds before I stop fasting. Then I'll keep dropping with a high raw, small portions diet.
