Inches

5 Replies

Just checking in. Feeling good, got weighed last Friday and stayed the same, a little disappointing and could of tipped me to eat lots a things I shouldn’t.

However after measuring id lost another two inches. This kept me going!

This week is a holiday from work week, getting in lots of steps walking and watching what I eat.

Well done. A measuring tape is a good way to realise a pause in weight loss is not a pause in fat loss.

Aside: I've never understood what "lost x inches" means. Is it from a single measure or is there a defined set of measurements that are combined?

in reply toSubtle_badger

I took all measurements to start with:-

Bust, waist, hips, left thigh and right thigh.

Then as I travel my journey I remeasure those areas. Some I’ve decreased an inch or two, others maybe half inch. Add all the lost inches together and there you have your total inch loss to date.

Well done LasVegas, that's great news.

I hope any potential pause in the future won't derail you. There can be many reasons for no weight loss, even if it's just that we didn't eat so well that week :( Giving up isn't an option only a reason to try and work out why and come up with a plan (if necessary) to do something to help.

Enjoy your week away from work and I hope the weather is kinder to you so you can keep getting those steps in :)

Rain, rain and more rain. We are expecting another storm, 3rd one. Ciara, Dennis and no idea what this one is called.
