How many inches have you lost?

[Johnny]

Great inch losses everyone. I've lost 6ins off of my waist, 4ins off of my chest and 3ins off each thigh. Have been going swimming and doing pilates which I think has helped. Fat percentage has gone from 35% to 28%. Have also lost a cup size or two (which is great as I'm a bloke!!).

Undoubtedly the best diet ever!

I'm 5'6", an in 17 weeks I've lost 3st 12lbs

in that time, I've shrunk by:

neck - 1"
each upper arm - 2"
bust - 3.5" (bit disappointed with that one, have only gond down from a 34HH to a 32H)
waist - 4.5"
stomach - 7.5"
hip - 7"
each thigh - 5"
each calf - 1.5"

I'm 5'5'' and have lost 62 lbs since starting LL (Jan 14 - 19 weeks). I have lost:
12'' - bust
12.5'' - waist
10.5'' - hips
That works out at roughly 2.5'' per stone but the rate of loss was quite uneven.

Gosh Goomba, they are great stats. Feel a bit of a failure in comparision, my inch loss is nothing like yours, despite losing almost the same amount!

Oh Virgogirl, I'm sorry if I made you feel bad; I hadn't compared the figures, was just made curious by this thread to work out inches/stone. On reflection, I was wearing a jumper when I started as it was January! That must have added an inch. Also I am VERY apple shaped so I don't imagine I've lost anything on my legs/bottom(didn't do a start measurement as they were the least of my problems). What I find interesting is that I have shrunk since I've started maintaining; in fact looking at my record book I also lost 2'' with the last half stone (except for waist - that's not budging!!). It gives me hope that the skin does shrink back a bit. Our LLC encourages us to put the tape measure to where we started - very powerful and very scary!
