How Many Inches Have You Lost???

Okay, so the last month I've had to come to terms with the fact that muscle does weigh more than fat, and the scale will not be nice in return. That month alone I lost 2 inches in my waist, but my weight virtually stayed the same. That inspired me to get this conversation rolling, because I am proud of where I am at measurement wise!!
So tell me, how many inches have you lost? Your whole body? Specific area? Pant sizes/Dress sizes? Bra sizes? Let's talk about something besides weight...!!
For me, I only measured two places from the very beginning:
waist: 33.5 (11/28/11), 27.5 (3/4/12) = 6 inches total!!
Hip: 45.5 (11/28/11), 39 (3/4/12) = 6.5 inches total!!
I also went from a 36F, to a 34F, which makes me super happy, and a size 14 (maybe 16 but I wouldn't admit!) to a size 10, almost 9.

I only lost 1.2 lbs since starting Les Mills pump, but within the first phase of the program (34/35 days) I've lost a total of 7 inches:
Bust/chest = -1 3/4
R Arm = -3/4
L Arm = -5/8
Waist = -1 3/4
Hips = -1 3/4
R Thigh = -3/8
L Thigh = 0 (only because I gained 3/8 inches half way through and then lost the same 3/8 inches by the end of the 30+ days)
I'm happy that there has been change and I can tell the difference in my clothes. They fit looser on me, which makes me EXTREMELY happy. Can't wait for my 60 day results!0 -
Since I have started:
Waist: loss 2 inches
Neck: loss 1 inch (don't think I will lose anymore)
Thighs: loss 1/2 inch (just started measuring them last week)
So far so good
Keep Calm and Carry On,

Waist: 29" to 24.5" (-4.5")
Hips: 35" to 33.5" (-1.5")0 -
It's great to read that someone else know's that it's all about the measurements.....I haven't moved on the scales since i started 6 weeks ago bt my clothes have gone down a whole size. I wish I'd now got measurements done (ie; calipers to measure body fat) to keep an eye on lean body mass which is my aim....I will eventually do it to help me keep an eye on my healthy eating regime...because I know that my calories will need to be increased as my metabolism becomes more efficient and I become leaner!!...got to keep working at it though:)0

Neck: loss 1 inch (don't think I will lose anymore)
That's one I forgot about, Neck I've went from a 13 to an 11, I keep thinking I can't lose anymore in my Neck and then I do!0 -
Funny you asked, i measured today for my one month measure i started in Feb. So for 1 month i lost 4.125 in. from all over my body. An inch from my waist and 1/8 from my neck, .75 from my thigh. Half of that from my chest. Not my breasts though, the cup is the same but the size around went from a 40 to 38 or 36. Still a DD or DDD depending. Strangely enough i gained about 2/8 or so of an inch in my arm,hmm. Not sure how but i was really excited to see all of it coming down except that one. Yay for measuring.0

I too have not lost much weight which I try not to get discouraged about. I measured myself the other day though and in a few months time I've lost a total of 7 inches.
1/2 in left arm
1 1/2 inches in Right thigh
1 inch in Left thigh
1 1/2 inches in waist
and 2 1/2 inches in hips.
That motivated me to keep on truckin. :happy:0 -
3/30/12 arm:14 today 13.
3/30/12 chest 40 today 37.
3/30/12 waist 36 today 31.
3/30/12 glut 47 today 41.
3/30/12 thigh 29 today 26.
3/30/12 calf 161/2 today 15.
I didn't know you are suppose to measure the neck so on 4/21/12 neck 14 today 13.
So total I came up with 21 1/2 inches lost 4 months. This is really motivating to me concidering the scale is not my best friend at this time. Inches really do matter, so to all my large girls and guys out there who are plugging at it every day, keep going each day we work at it our bodies are changing even if we don't think it is.0 -
