Measurement Update!

So here are my updated measurements:

Underbust/Bust: 29"/36"
Waist: 25.5"
Hip/Butt: 40.25"

So, I have been fluctuating a bit in the bum measurement and just recently since I have changed my diet my measurement has been more frequently 40.25" than 40.5". This is not too surprising, since I am consuming less. But my waist measurement! It keeps shrinking. When I started this thread, I started with 27" on my waist, and now I am down to 25.5"! I have been better at keeping up with contracting my TVA muscles throughout the day (see post #13 of this thread), although still not as consistent with it as I used to be in the past when I did it years ago. But I will get there! Here are two helpful and informative videos about the Stomach Vacuum for those of you who are interested in seeing how it is done, how it works, and how it is beneficial! It is described as the natural corset (for those of you who like the idea of waist training with a corset!). Enjoy

and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCbf2wqE4Gw with Elliott! Lol the writing on the board: "The Iron Guru says: crunches suck!" So true...
and I actually never noticed that I work my pelvic basin when I do this exercise, but I notice it now after hearing him mention it... whoa, the benefits!

I REALLY REALLY recommend this exercise! I mean, I always knew that it worked for me, but always thought it was a self-discovered quirky thing that worked for me... it is awesome to see that there is actually a name for this, that other people use it, and that it is explained how and why what I used to do years ago actually worked to keep my waist small.

Also, my camera WAS in the rental I returned last week, so I will be posting the photos soon as I collect it from the rental company!
