I have read somewhere that when you lose weight, for every 30-35 lbs you lose, you gain an inch of... well I am sure all of you can fill in the blank. Has this been true for most of you?
I don't need to know specifics, I am just curious if this is true or not.
I also feel very embarrassed asking this :blushing:

damn makes me wish I was fatter...lol
i dont know if thats true...but good luck in your research0 -
I am down almost 30lbs. Yes its true, its not a benefit though. I am constantly knocking stuff off counters and it makes it difficult to drive. Let alone remembering to use the shorter urinal at the bar. Just yesterday I almost closed the door on the Admiral.
Really I don't know I can't say I "measured" just thought it would be fun to respond to the question!0 -

Be careful there pal or you are going to end up with an inbox crammed full of friend requests! lol! nevermind the fact you call him the Admiral - women love men (or parts of them) in uniform! :laugh:0 -
Honest answer? I'm not male but hubby has lost about 20lbs and upon measurement ( I told him it looked bigger, he didn't believe me), he has gained about 1/2 inch.0
-
I have lost almost 200 lbs and I can say visually yes it has grown because there is less fat hiding it. The actual lengh however did not change. That was was included in my measurements. :happy:0
-
It's not, the idea is that in males a lot of fat is stored in the skin just above..... so when they lose weight it makes it LOOK bigger.0
-
Its true, probably because the fat around the base has receded slightly. Circumference has decreased slightly though. I can nearly fit my hand round him now :ohwell:
On a side note....you look a lot like one of my Castleville friends from when I used to play. Your surname isn't something like Tunnel is it? lol Talk about changing the subject0 -
I've lost 50lbs altogether and I can definitely see a major difference, there's not a big enough smiley on here :bigsmile:0
-
I dunno what you guys are talking about. I've lost about 7".0
-
Like I was saying to a guy on here yesterday, if this were true, all of us guys would weigh 45 pounds!0

Maybe so but we'd all have pogo sticks.0 -
I didn't gain anything. When the fat around that area decreased, it appeared it was bigger because I could see MORE of it!0

I was going to include a load of links, but I'm not sure because they would all include grown up words. Basically, losing fat from the area above will expose more length. There is also a condition known as 'Buried (fill in the blank)' which is associated with overweight patients.0

Si. Less fat + leaning out = more to play with! >.>0

Winning response of the year.

Well this has been an educational thread.

Yes- as fat decreases around that area, more will be visible and...useable. 42lbs down=no complaints from my wife.0
-
I have lost 40+ all together but such a small percentage increase would be hard to distinguish0
-
Wifey now calls me Dirk Diggleer......true story!0
-
Yes.0
-
It is a significantly larger percentage of my total body weight! (laughing here!)
Getting victories and a lasting ego boost through meaningless statistics!!! Life is good!!!!!0 -
All I know is that I am always bulging0
-
No0

lol0
-
time for me to gain and lose weight...0
-
maybe its just the fat around the base thats goes and makes it look bigger??...or maybe its just that they an see an extra inch over the belly! lol0

I think I've just laughed off a couple more lbs :-)0 -
Let me do the math I have lost a total of 150 lbs so divided by 30 equals 5 additional inches. This has happened only in my dreams or hers.0
