How have your body measurements changed since starting Slimming World?

[matt9210]

We all pay lots of attention to the numbers on the scales, but I'm wondering how people have done in terms of inches lost? Also curious as to if you do exercise?

I'm interested in seeing what people's body measurements are like but if you're not comfortable posting that, then posting your losses is fine!

I have more of an apple shape, as guys typically do. At 13st 4lbs, my measurements are:

chest - 40.2 inches
waist - 41.5
hips above bum - 38.6
hips around bum - 40
left thigh - 25.5
right thigh - 25
upper left arm - 13.5
upper right arm - 13

Total losses:

Chest - 4.5 inches
Waist - 6.5 inches
Hips above bum - 5 inches
Hips around bum - 6 inches
Left thigh - 4.5 inches
Right thigh - 5 inches
Upper left arm - 2 inches
Upper right arm - 1.5 inches


So that's around 35 inches lost in total.

I'm hoping that as my target draws closer, I'll lose more inches in the next stone lost than I would do losing a stone in the heavier stages.

Excellent work and great excuse for new clothes right! I find seeing the measurements decrease far more satisfying than the weight loss. I haven't measured myself this time around but last time I lost quite a few inches too. This time I console myself (when I gave a crappy weigh in) that my jeans are much looser. My work involves lots of steps and I swim everyday in summer but don't exercise as such. You have inspired me to measure myself today! Thx

What type of exercise do you do?
