Day 28 hey everyone

Ok everyone I have decided that I am going to measure my waist - hips- thighs and concentrate on those numbers more than on the numbers on the scale. I think I will see the greatest significance if I measure once a month (I am going to have to try to use a lot of self control to hold out that long). I did wear a pair of jeans Saturday that used to be tight in the waist and butt and now they seem to be more loose so I know that the month that I have been spending at the gym is working.
Ok I have a general question for all of my choose 180 buddies. Knowing the squats and lunges are suppose to help with your butt and thighs I am making an effort to do them everytime I work out. I cannot do a "traditional" lunge because I cannot bend my right foot at the arch or anywhere between the arch and my toes with large amounts of pain. Does someone know of a "suto" way I can do a lunge and still get the same effects of working out my thighs and butt muscles? Any advise would be great
Does anyone else have this problem where there is like 5 feet hanging off your waist but your pants fit on your butt and thighs. I hate it. If anyone can offer any ideas for exercises to help out with I would appreciate that also
Hugs to everyone!!!!! Go choose 180 challenge. Tomorrow is the beginning of a new day embrace it AG
