So it has been a month since I took my measurements but about 3 weeks on mfp. I lost inches everywhere except for my thighs which went up half an inch and my upper arms that went up half an inch....why is that? i havent worked out in the last 3 weeks since i have been sick so its not from lifting....why does my upper body always lose inches faster?? its the bottom that needs to go!

    Frustrating, isn't it? I actually got scrawny on top and was afraid I'd look like an anorexic if I continued to lose weight. Yet I had plenty of fat below the waist. Luckily, as I lost the last 20 pounds, it all came off the bottom. I'd still like to be less boney on top, but not if it means being bigger on the bottom.

    to be honest...in all likely hood you're probably just not measuring in the EXACT same spot as last time... when measuring self I find it hard to get things like arms and legs accurate. I always try to measure at the biggest part, but who's to say you're not an inch lower or higher then you were last time ...

    I wouldn't panick too much over it :smile:
