    Losing INCHES.

    I know that the weight loss on Cambridge is amazing, and people lose pounds & pounds each week...

    But what I'm wondering is how quickly did you notice the inches coming off too?

    The last 12 months I've unfortunately gained 6 inches on my bust, 9 on my waist and I think 6 on my hips.. and I wanna shrink these numbers back down ASAP!

    I'm guessing the first week is a lot of water weight though so it's just a matter of going from bloated to not bloated?

    Doesn't your CDC measure you? I get measured every week (and I was measured weekly the first time round where I lost 6 stone) and you can see the inches lost on a weekly basis.

    Yeah but I only started yesterday. So I'm asking from people who've been on plan a while how quickly inches come off in comparison to pounds.
