Inches Loss I've purchased a tape measure👗Even Small Losses make a huge difference to health.

[LittleLynne]

I decided to write a post re tracking the journey hopefully to motivate those on a slow weight loss journey. I've realised this time the overall health benefits.

I've purchased a tape measure rather than focusing on just the scales as I need all the motivation I can get to continue. The community on here are a great motivator reading all the weight loss stories from you.

I find it's great on here to keep your record of the journey which hopefully mine will be eventually inspiring for others. I love your before and after photos. I will be posting mine when I reach my goal.

My measurements in 4 weeks have changed a little.

Waist was 36 Now 34 loss 2 inch

Hips 42 Now 41 loss 1 inch

Neck 14 was 15 loss 1 inch

Liver Function Normal before it was well elevated.

Cholesterol was 6.7 I need a re test in 3 months

Blood Pressure Now Normal it was High before this journey.

My body fat is very high for my stature of 5ft 2 it is 38% My body fat is my major concern. My BMI is in overweight bracket.

I'm losing weight slowly and this time I'm going to make it to goal.

Before I've always tried to lose weight to look better this time it is for HEALTH reasons.

I'm not that active but I'm taking slow steps to get active. A walk is my start, leaving the car at home. Parking further away at supermarket, taking the stairs, which incidentally I am totally out of breath plus I have bad knees but hopefully these small changes will add up on the end balance sheet at my GOAL... When I get to GOAL this will be the start of a new chapter where hopefully the healthy lifestyle will become a GOOD HABIT.......

Morning LittleLynne

Your doing brilliant so far on your weight loss journey so well done you. Using a tape measure to track your journey works really well and you will be amazed as the inches disappear, I know I was with a total loss of just over 35 inches all over in the last 9 months.

Looking at it from a healthy way is better and you will feel so much more active as you go along your journey. I do things now I never thought I would do again which feels fantastic.

keep up the good work and you will reach your goal in the end. Onwards and downwards.

Great post LittleLynne . Quite inspirational. I ordered a soft tape measure yesterday. Didn't want to slice off any waist fat with the steel one from B&Q, that would be cheating and messy

I am encouraged to know that my purchase will be useful in keeping me motivated. Keep up the good work.

This is SO great.

Well done and I wish I had been as thorough as you in measuring my progress over the years.

I love your idea about parking the car further away and I am going to start doing that today esp. when I get home.

And SO great about your blood pressure!

Well done
