    I lost 10cm off my stomach in one month and 4 pounds overall. That was from week 4-8. I didn't measure from week 0-4 I should have! I think 10cm is about 4 inches?

    Week 8-12 I lost no inches on my stomach.

    I'm on week 14 so will know in 2 weeks if I lost again on my stomach.

    Nothing fancy. Cardio and calorie counting. Have since started weight training...

    I'm 5'1" and on day 21. I've lost 5.8# so far, and 6.5" over all, 1 1/2" from my belly alone. I'm eating 1600 calories a day and watching my macros. I also work out 5-6 days a week doing strength training and some cardio through my crosstraining class.

    I lost 13.75" in my waist and 13" in my hips from August '12 to June '14 and I've been mostly maintaining since, although I want to lose another 15lbs.

    I just ate less than what I burned and tried to keep my protein intake up. :) I definitely didn't eat clean! If you read my thread you'll see other information. :)

    You have my exact starting weight & goal weight.. :smiley: Currently at 141lbs, took more than a year..
    How did you manage to get to that weight in 6 months? Did you do any other exercises? I still have a little bingo wings, lower tummy & inner thighs to lose.. Inner thighs seem to be the toughest part to get rid of.. :( How much do you measure around your thighs & hips now?

    @BecomeBetterThanMyYesterMe

    In hindsight, I should have taken my time since I was hangry the entire 6 months! I kept my calorie intake strictly between 1200 - 1400 regardless of how much I ran, though I made sure to get at least 60 grams of protein in per day. Guess I was much more active than sedentary, according to Fitbit I average 15000 steps per day. I don't know my thigh measurement at the moment, but my hips are about 35 inches.

    Congrats on your amazing progress!

    I'm 5'2" and started in August on 2015 and belly button measurement was 50.5" I measured again in January 2016 and it was 39.5" down 60 lbs so far and I am lifting twice a week and doing cardio (running and cycling) 5-6 times per week.

    I am 5'2 SW was 202 and I am currently 159ish
    I went from having a 44' (i think 44 might of been 45) stomach; measuring from just below the belly button; to 36/37 inches depending on what I eat during the day.

    My main exercise has been tae kwon do so very cardio intense. I do Body Pump at least once a week as well

    I have been at this for 14 months but took a few months off during Christmas and in the spring and stayed at maintenance during that time. I have 24 pounds left to loose!

    Edit: before photo is actually at 10lbs down so 192
