I need about 12 inches to reach waist length. But there is good news:
I need 3 inches to reach APL
I need 6 inches to top of BSL
9 inches to full BSL
12 inches to full Waist
Note that these are very liberal estimates. I allow myself 1 or 2 inches leeway just in case I experience setbacks.
I am happy to be at full BSL and with proper care and perhaps 1 or 2 setbacks, I ought to reach that in 1 1/2 years.
In the meantime, if I keep doing what I'm doing and obtain the average 3" in 6 months, I should be full APL by Christmas.
I should reach top of BSL this time next year and full BSL by December 2008.
If I can see it, then I can be it!
Good luck, everyone. I hope we all achieve our highest goals.
