    One thing I find challenging is, being short (and short-waisted) as I am, how do I know if I'm losing inches around my waist when I don't *have* a waist to measure?

    Hi, I have had so much weight to lose, I too couldn't measure my waist. I've had to watch the rolls diminish. I started out with 3 (directly under the bust, around the waist and the one hanging below the navel. I am now down to the last one (which is still large). I really wouldn't stress about measurements. It's how your clothes fit and how you feel. Good Luck
