I was actually sitting in a chair in that picture and wasn`t breathing...My waist is 28/29 right now.
Arnold's waist was 34 inches in contest shape.
Your waist is not 28/29 -unless you're sucking in your gut like your life depended on it, and pulling that tape real hard.
I have no doubt your waist looks real good though.
Remember what you stated yourself about numbers - don't focus on numbers.
I'm sure your waist will look great when your done, and that's all that matters.
BTW, good to see that you're not rushing things, but rather doing the diet a few weeks longer.
Don't overdo it though.
