The Numbers – The Shrinking Jeans of Melissa

0

11/26/08 – Okay, here goes. I am 5′ 10″. My weight today is…. 229.2 pounds. I can’t believe I am admitting this to the world. I also took measurements and, give or take a little, this is what they were:

Waist: 35.5 inches, Hips: 46 inches, Bust: 34.75 inches (under boobs) and 41 inches over the fullest part, Thighs: 30 inches, Upper Arms: 14 inches.

Currently wearing size 16 or 18 in jeans. Blah.

So there it is. Holy crap, my thighs are almost as big as my waist. Can you say pear-shaped??

I will weigh-in weekly on Wednesdays with the rest of the crew, and do monthly measurements and pictures.
