How did this happen?

Hi Surery Brothers and Sisters! I just wanted to give everyone an update as I got measured and weighed today. I am 12 weeks out today. Drum roll please...... I have officially lost 49 lbs. and I have lost 52.75 inches! I am VERY happy...I had her measure me twice because I couldn't believe my inches gone! But they are REALLY gone! YAY! Now, I am wondering why would I have lost more inches than lbs? I am kinda thinking it is from working out and I am burning fat but building muscle. That HAS to be it. Let me know if the same thing is happening to you. Thanks, Brandy

Well, one reason could be the way you were measured. If they do right arm, left arm, right thigh, left thigh, for instance, the numbers are going to be higher of course. Did they measure things like your neck, wrist, ankle? That will also add to your total. Regardless, it sounds like you're doing great! Congratulations!

Hi Michele, The places I was measured were... Bust Waist Abdomen Hips Right Thigh Left Thigh Right Calf Left Calf Right upper arm Left upper arm we measured 2 days before surgery. at one month out and we missed 2 mos. but then we did 2 weeks ago and again yesterday. i didn't think that 2 weeks there would be ANY change. but in 2 weeks my abdomen went down 4 inches! that was my biggest loss this time and my thighs were down 2 each! the rest of me was just 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch here and there. amazing that you don't lose everywhere evenly. i am so happy i did the measurements...or i would probably be frustrated with only a 49 lb loss. brandy
