    Congratulations on your loss! Measuring is a GREAT way to track your progress - especially since the scale is rather fickle.

    At last count I had shed about 90 inches all over (I tracked my neck, chest, upper arms, waist, hips, thighs, and calves), 18" of which were off of my waist (from 45.5" to 27.5"). I am as proud - if not more so - of that as I am of my weight loss (108 pounds on MFP, 122 lbs total)

    BTW-- You inspire me like crazy. :)
    Thanks!

    The scale can be bad especially if you are working with weights at the same time. I find the following happens.... lose weight.... body adjusts (no weight loss), loose weight then body adjusts. when inches fall off my weight is the same. when I lose weight the inches stay. Your body can't multi task the way we want. Slow and stead is what you want.

    For a NSV here I ran into someone tonight who looked at me and said I almost didn't recognize you because you were way heavier last time I saw you. Unfortunately he said most of my weight loss was in my face. Yes I still have the beer belly. But when people are starting to notice that's good.
