First Measurements - Everyone's Holding Their Breath

This past Tuesday, we measured our participants for the first time since they were interviewed and started the program. Measurements were taken the week of September 8, and they started with us September 15.

Velma and I were a little nervous about doing this because if the measurements didn't go the right way, it could be disastrous for the program. But, we needed to know how things were progressing so we could adjust the program as necessary.

Needless to say, I think we had good results from this first measuring. Michelle continued to remind us that she has only been doing this for a week and a half, but she was already having good changes.

I'm not going to get specific for each individual, but combined the participants have lost a total of 17 plus pounds, lost around 25 inches, and decreased their bodyfat by about 3 or 4 percent. That is excellent seeing as how we have only gone about 4 weeks and safely an individual should be losing 1-2 pounds of fat a week.

All three participants were understandably excited and eager to continue on. Let's keep up the good work!!
