Body Measurements

As part of my journey, I thought it would also be a good idea to take those "Biggest Loser" type pictures.  I haven't decided if I should post those pictures yet, but maybe by the time I finish typing this I will.  I also took measurements of my various body parts.  I took my first measurements on December 5, 2011.
Here they are:

• Weight: 281
• Chest: 51"
• Right Arm: 15.5"
• Left Arm: 15.5"
• Waist: 51.5" (I don't really know where my waist is, I followed the picture)
• Hips: 47"
• Right Thigh: 29"
• Left Thigh: 28.5"

Ok, so there you have it. My measurements forever documented in cyberspace.

Ok, and here I go, at the risk of total humiliation, here are my pictures of day 1. View at your own risk. 

Sad really, that I let myself get like this.  First off, I'm sooooo hairy. I need to do something about that.  Second, I'm using these pics as motivation to keep me going, especially on those days I really don't want to do anything!
