I only did BW one out of the 28 days in February. It's sad to think about where I could be right now if I was consistent. I tend to start and stop - very sporadic. In the past I've made lots of excuses - too tired, feel crappy/sick, too hungry, not enough time, busy traveling. The list goes on. My food poisoning was pretty serious, but I'm done making excuses. Consistency is key. I'm proud of myself for completing this bootcamp. I feel great about it!

The smallest I've ever been was before my accident in September 2002. (This is really the first time I kept my measurements in a place where I could find them later. )

Bust - 35
Ribs - 30
Waist - 24
Abs - 31
Hips - 36
Right Up - 20
Left Up - 20
Right Lo - 14.75
Left Lo - 15
Right Calf - 12.5
Left Calf - 12.5
Right Arm - 9.5
Left Arm - 9.5

Since the accident, my ribs are 1 inch smaller, waist has gotten 1 inch bigger, abs 2.75 inches bigger, hips 2.75 inches bigger, thighs 2 inches bigger, calves remained the same (but look and feel a bit stronger), and my arms 0.5 inch bigger. It must be early 20s hormones and stress combined with lack of consistency. If I can lose two sizes (2 inches off each area) I would be thrilled! At least I've maintained the 2 inch gain and haven't gotten any larger. At one point my hips were 40 inches (the biggest I've ever been) and that seriously scared me. Here's a USA Women's Size Chart for reference...
