Life is a game of inches...no really..

So my dad tapped out. He was trying the diet and the Occam Protocol, and he decided to add 30 minutes of cardio and go back to the traditional Atkins diet.  "I haven't lost any weight since Friday/Saturday." That was his reason for the switch. 


Then, 10 minutes later in the conversation, he said "I put my jeans on and I thought they were my 'fat' jeans, but they were my skinny jeans. And Laura said I lost my belly."  My response was "Listen to what you just said. Is your goal to make the numbers on the scale go down, or to become smaller?" He wants to make the number go down....  I will still help him. 


Here are my measurements from week 2 to week 3.  Kim is doing the measuring, and we are doing each one 2-3 times to make sure its correct.


Area - W2; W3
Chest - 44.0; 43.0
Right Bicep - 14.5; 14.5
Left Bicep - 14.5; 14.5
2 " above navel - 40.5; 41
Navel - 45; 45
2" below navel - 42.5; 43
Hips - 45; 45
Right thigh - 27.5; 26.0

Left thigh - 27.5; 26.0

Total Inches - 301; 298.5

Inches Loss - 3; 2.5

Weight 217.5; 217.5

So as you can see, my weight stayed the same, but my total inches was 2.5 less than I was last week. I am happy with my progress!
