I'm just wondering how many inches people have lost in comparison to their weight loss? I was watching a program a few weeks ago(Supersize vs Superskinny UK show) and a lady had lost around 35lbs and lost 8 inches from her waist. Impressive in comparison to me!

I'm 66lbs down.

Starting waist 48 inches > waist now 39.5 inches
Starting hips 57 inches > hips now 48.5 inches

Obviously everyone is different, so how many inches have you lost compared to weight?

    I've only lost about 12 pounds so far. However, I have lost 6 inches around my waist and about an inch off my hips. It's amazing how that works.

    I don't know how many total inches I've lost, but after I did my first round of Focus T25, 10 weeks, I lost 10 inches, but only 1lb.

    Hey I've lost around 10lbs total (5 recorded here) and 5 inches off my waist which went relatively quickly when i cut out all the junk food and went Vegan, i think it was partly bloating/ water retention who knows i guess everyone is different

    I have only lost 11 pounds in 5 months, but I have lost over 20 inches all over. Almost 4 inches off each; waist, stomach (around belly button), and hips. I haven't been working out this winter so the inches are slowing down a bit.

    I still have a long way to go. I figure by next fall I will be at my goal, but hopefully the spring/summer will bring a bit more change.

    Well done all, it is amazing how different it is for people.

    Should've said I started at 290lbs. I wish I noted my bust and arm measurements when I began, but it wasn't too bothered then!

    Funny that we started at the same measurements mrsward2010 :) you've done really well! x

    Onwards and downwards :)

    Everyone is very different! Your body type, BMI, what you are eating and if you are strength training or not all have influence. I'm 5'9" and after a 20 lb weight loss am down 1 - 1.5 inches in each area (chest/waist/hips/thigh).

    Rule of thumb is 1" off waist size for every 5 pounds of weight loss (give or take a pound or two). Everybody is a little different based on how they carry their weight.

    lost about 6 inches overall

    but you have to consider your body shape and type, complexion, etc!

    It's also different if you are building muscle, you will see inches lost but less weight loss. :)

    It's a weird process but I lost 7 pounds in 3 month but over 22.5 inches off my entire body! It was amazing. This turn around is slower but I have 2 months before I weigh in again...so far 2 pounds and 5 inches. Couple weeks in:)
