Inches Lost!!!

I had my measurements taken at Curves in March (weighing 10 pounds less than I did the day of wls)..... I finally went back in to get measured and they gave me a printout with the results. I LOST 18 INCHES!!!!!! (down 35 pounds since surgery...so 25 pounds less than when Curves measured me) Bust: -2.25 Waist: -3. Abdomin: -3.25 Hips: -4.5 Thighs: -4.5 (she didn't measure my calves) Arms -.50 YEA!!! My scale has been stuck for two weeks...so I really needed this boost. I've been bouncing between 214 & 215 - up and down... This morning I hit 213..so I hope the curse has been broken! If my scale stays "stuck" for another two weeks...I'm going back to get measured to see if there's any truth to the old saying "you might not be losing weight, but you're losing inches." ((hugs)) Pam

CONGRATS!!! This is fantastic news. I haven't measured since surgery but plan on it this week (at one month). I'm so proud of my fellow June loosers and its always a boost to hear everyones successes. Congrats again - and don't worry about the scale (easier to say than do I know). Its how you feel that is REALLY important and obviously something is going right if you're loosing the inches. Take care... Kate

Congratulations I believe inches are more important than weight. I am also a curves memeber and love it Since surgery I have been utilizing my treadmill and swimming pool for exercise but plan to go back to curves in another month. Let us know how your next measurment day goes. Gool Luck joni.RNY.6.27.2005

CONGRATULATIONS PAM! your doing awesome...your shrinking! LISA

WOOHOOOOOOOOOO PAM! that is so awesome! i wish i had took measurements, i still should, but i never do it! i think for sure it is true about losing inches when the scale is stuck! maybe i will have my mom take measurements of me today when i go over there. but weight-wise, this has been an awesome week for me! i lost 5 lbs this week and i am down to 185! WOW!!!!! we are doing this thang!!!! hugs~mary jo

CONGRATS PAM, I also took my measurements and lost 16 inches, its sure is a boost. My scale is stuck also so tomorrow i'm going in for a new doo and color, besides we deserve it right, anyway I'm proud of you keep up the good work.

If i measure both arms and legs do i get to count the inches twice? Just kidding. I took my measurements today for the first time since prior to my surgery. And i had some luck there. 42 lbs down Neck-1 Arm -2 waist-5.25 Hip-1.5 thigh-1.5 Calve + .50 Chest-4 ankle -1.5 wrist-.50 i am up a couple of lbs unnofically but i have had some water issues. I have told myself i can only weigh once a week and that is the official weight. I was driving myself crazy with the mornign and night weighing every day. It was fun the first week while weight was pouring off me. But now it is just depressing. So once a week it is. Again i am very glad i found this spot with people who are pretty much in the same boat and time line as i am.
