Belly measurement

katie22mfp

I'm currently very unhappy with my belly measurement. Shocked and disappointed that I've let the tape measure display such a large number. So I'm thinking how much can I expect to lose of that measurement. Is anyone willing to share belly measurement and weight? Tia

It depends on where your body stores fat.

I didn't take measurements for a long time, so my starting is an unknown.

This is what I do have though:
7/19/2013 (4 months into using MFP/38 lbs with MFP/78 lbs total loss)

• Abdomen @ Navel : 38.5"
• Waist: 33"
• Weight: 182 lbs

7/26/2014 (2 months after my 2nd was born)

• Abdomen @ Navel : 43.75"
• Waist: 38"
• Weight: 187.8 lbs

4/22/2016 (most recent measurments)

• Abdomen @ Navel : 30"
• Waist: 26.5"
• Weight: 122 lbs

edit: Oh and I'm 5'4.5"

personally I've been losing a rough estimate of an inch a month off my stomach, but that may be faster than a lot of people since the vast majority of the weight I gained was on my stomach. I had one of those round protruding pregnant-looking bellies on an otherwise fairly slim body. as the above poster said, everyone is different.
