How long before measuring results?

Hi! So I started out at 243lbs and lost 4lbs in the first week. I recently was told to get some measuring tape to track my progress instead of the scale. I am doing a 1360 calorie diet and am partaking in minimal exercise at the point. On this track, how long should I expect to wait before I see any results as far as the measuring tape goes?

I measure at the beginning of each month. So start on November 1st. :happy:

ETA: Measure today to start with, than when November 1st comes you will start to see some change. Good luck.

If you actually take your measurements, and do this every few months you will be amazed at the changes. I have kept a weight chart for about 3 years now and watched myself go up and down, hopefully this time I will lose the weight and keep it off. When I look at those charts, I know I can do it because I've done it before.

I noticed two inches on each of my arms after five weeks and around my stomach and thighs one inch.
