how many inches?

Those first few pounds may have just been water so that may be why you don't see it in inches yet. You'll lose water from your muscles, organs, etc. first. Or it could be fat from areas you don't measure like your fingers, feet, ankles, face, etc.

the 10 pounds was not a quick loss, it is not water weight. but thanks for not even coming close to answering the question.

Water weight does not have to be quick and it could be muscle loss too. Me telling you how many inches I've lost isn't going to help you! Only you understanding why you don't see the loss will help you!

I know it's not going to help me. I was looking for a general idea. Motivation perhaps. Clearly you couldn't provide that. I've been changing my lifestyle for years. Trust me when I say it's not just water weight. I've been a member of MFP for just a few months longer than you (which... is quite a long time). I've read just as much information as you. Just, I've been the unlucky 21 year old girl who had 2 surgeries during that time and her meds (that i have to take for the rest of my life) cause consistent weight gain. No. It's not water weight. Thanks anyway.

Drinking at least 2 liters of water a day, plus weighing one first thing when one wakes up and at the same time each week will help eliminate the miscalculations of water weight. Meaning, weighing in the evening after exercise would show that one ways less, but first thing in the morning before one exercise would be ones most accurate weigh in. Also the average person would only carry about 3 to 5 pounds of 'water' weight at any given time except after exercise, which is why one should not weigh themselves after working out. Also, water weight is not slow to lose as its usually the first pounds lost but is replenished each day if a typical person drinks the accurate amount of water. Its not recommended to weigh oneself everyday but instead weekly, as this will also help prevent miscalculations from water weight.

What I've seen about Nevermorex is that she weighs herself only once a week, at the same time, and has steady lost the weight, and therefore its not water weight. Most likely, the weight has been lost over a percentage of her body which would mean that she wouldn't pull large numbers in certain locations. Measuring the hips, neck, bust, arms, legs, and thighs will help her see what parts of her body the weight is being shed from, and see what parts are more her 'trouble' spots. Her trouble spots might just take some strength exercise and a little extra attention a day to help jump start those parts shedding inches.
