This is day one of the Pinkdumbbells.com Lean, Mean Halloween challenge. I took measurements this afternoon, but wasn’t able to take pictures because I left my camera over at my boyfriend’s place. Anyhow, here are the numbers. The photographic proof will have to wait until tomorrow night. I am apparently over the periodic water bloat, because I’ve gone from 139.2 down to 135.4 in about four days. As I was averaging 137 last week, this indicates some actual fat loss.
