almost forgot...

This is a challenge to shape up after all - so here's how I did:

Before measurements:
Bust: 34.5"
Chest: 29"
Waist: 29"
Hips: 35.5"
Right Thigh: 20"
Left Thigh: 20"
Right Arm: 10.5"
Left Arm: 10.5"

After Measurements:

Bust: 33.5"

Chest: 29"

Waist: 29"

Hips: 34.5"

Right Thigh: 19"

Left Thigh: 19"

Right Arm: 10"

Left Arm: 10"

At least there were some results - even if they weren't exactly in the location I was hoping for :)
