Check out Laurel's weight loss progress on this chart.

2016.11.18Starting Diet Phase 3; Six inches gone from Waist and Hips

Time for the Laurel update! In the past ten days, she's lost about another 10 lbs. This morning she tipped the scales at 228.0. (The point I selected is her weight from the previous post.)

The big story — well, the smaller story, perhaps, is that yesterday marked one month since we had performed body measurements. Here's her progress:

Shoulders19"17"- 2"
Upper Arm15"14"- 1"
Chest (above the bust)46.25"43"- 3.25"
Chest (below the bust)45.75"42.5"- 3.25"
Natural waist47"41"- 6"
Hips53.75"47.5"- 6.25"
Thigh28.5"25.5"- 3"

Yes, you read those right: She's lost 6 inches off her waist and 6 1/4 inches off her hips; 3 inches off of her thighs and an inch from her upper arm.

Yesterday was also the first time she's chewed food since a month ago, when she started the pre-op diet; she's now in Phase 3, which allows her to eat soft foods and pureés. I imagine she'll be saying goodbye to soup for a little while — I'm sure she's sick of it.
