It's about the Inches

Nicely done:) Keep up the good work!

Inches are very awesome to lose......good job!!!!

Since January I have lost 17 inches from around my belly button, 10 inches from my hips!!!! Since June 13 I have lost (new measurements taken) 5 inches from my lower stomach, 3.5 inches from my upper chest, 1.5 inches from above my knee, 1 1/4 inches from my mid calve, 1.5 inches from my upper leg, 2 3/4 inches from my butt, 4.5 inches from my chest, 1 inch from under my chest....that equals alot of inches lost.... O plus 54 pounds lost!!!!

I agree! It *IS* about the inches!! Congrats on your success. You're doing great!

If you think about it, only WE see our weight, but everyone else sees the results of inches lost. To me that's what matters most. If I reach my clothing size goal (12/14), and only drop a couple pounds, I'm okay with that. That's one of the reasons why I gave up weighing myself, and go by the tape measure! The tape measure is my fwend. ;-)

How often do all of you take measurements. I did not take them from the start. Finally took them 3 weeks ago, going to wait till it's a month to re-take them. After 40 days my scaled finally dropped two pounds, I was afraid if I took measurements again too soon I'd be disappointed.

I take measurements every saturday....only one week did i not see some kind of loss!

Congratulation on your loss SeaMonkey83.

I focus on inches lost and body fat percentage/pounds of fat loss. I don't care about scale weight loss. Fat loss and scale weight loss isn't the same thing. I do my weigh in and measurements once a month. It's about that time to do it. I'm on the slow road. I have a body fat percentage goal that I'm aiming to reach and it might take me a year to get to it and I'm happy with that.
