To keep focused and motivated, measure yourself with a tapemeasure daily. Use a birth mark or take a surgical marker and make a mark on your skin, to make sure you measure at the same spot every day. Measure your chest, waist, hips, buttocks, arms and thighs. If you keep your calories at 500-600, and do your 12 minutes of intervals every other day, and drink your gallon of water (128 ounces) a day – you should see the inches going down daily.
