I just had to brag on myself a little bit tonight. I started my weight loss journey in January of this year. I am almost six months into it and have lost 50.9 pounds and 55 1/2 inches! I just have to share what my total inches lost are! Here they are:

Neck: 1 3/4 inches
Left bicep: 3 1/4 inches
Right bicep: 3 inches
Left thigh: 3 3/4 inches
Right thigh: 3 1/4 inches
Left calf: 1 1/2 inches
Right calf: 1 3/4 inches
Chest: 6 inches
Waist: 9 1/2 inches
Abdomen: 14 1/4 inches
Hips: 7 1/2 inches

I can't believe it! I still have a ways to go and everything still looks huge to me when I look at myself in the mirror, but obviously something, somewhere is going right!

    That is awesome!! It just gives me encouragement that I too can achieve these types of goals. I am new to myfitnesspal actually just signing up today. Your post is the first that I have read and am happy that I did. My fitness goal is to lose 75 pounds/size 9/10 (jeans without stretch). I am hoping that I can achieve my goals. I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life and am just sick and tired of being fat. If you have any ideas or suggestions/recipes that you would like to share with me, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Cheryl
