    I started at a heavy weight, so both came off rather quickly at first. Lately, the pounds are slow and I see more inches. But, I'm only 5 pounds away from my goal weight.

    Thank you. I'm just starting a long journey and so far I have noticed the inches are just melting off

    Over the total course of my weight loss, sometimes inches went faster, sometimes pounds went faster.

    Weigh yourself regularly, measure regularly, take a progress photo once a month or so in minimal or close-fitting clothing, and if you're exercising, track any achievements there (running speed, maximum weight lifts, time you can jog without stopping, whatever). That way, if one thing frustrates you by not moving for a while, one of the others is likely to show some rewarding progress.

    Good luck!

    I lost inches first, as evidenced by the way my clothes fit. The pounds followed by a couple weeks.
