Inches lost - never realised

I have only been measuring my loss by weight and have lost 26 lbs so far. However, today I remembered that months ago when I started, I measured myself and found the info I recorded on a spreadsheet so compared it to today's measurements. So here they are:

Start:

waist 37.5"
Hips 43.5"
Arms 15"
Thighs 25.5"
Chest 39"

Now:

waist 29.5"
Hips 38.5"
Arms 12"
Thighs 21.5"
Chest 35"

Thats a loss of:

waist 8"
Hips 5"
Arms 3"
Thighs 4"
Chest 4"

Total loss 24"

I cannot believe it. It's so weird wrapping the tape measure around your waist etc to my previous measurements and actually seeing the difference.

I have also just weighed out 26lbs of groceries and filled 4 carrier bags with potatoes, carrots, veg, chicken and tins and then walked a round the room with it. It wads really heavy!!! You should try it! You won't believe how much you used to carry around all the time!
