INCHES VS. POUNDS

HI MY NAME IS LEIYA THOMAS AND I HAD OPEN GASTRIC BYPASS BY DR. LAUTZ AT THE BRIGHAM & WOMENS HOSPITAL ON 12/08/04. I AM DOWN 40LBS AND HAVE BEEN STUCK AT A PLATEAU FOR ABOUT A WEEK, WEEK AND A HALF. MY QUESTION TO ANYONE THAT CAN ANSWER IS, IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INCHES AND POUNDS. MEANING IF I HAVE NOT LOST ANY WEIGHT IN POUNDS, CAN I STILL LOSE IN INCHES. THANKS ALOT LEIYA THOMAS 40LBS GONE

definately! A lot of time if your not losing pounds it's because your losing inches. Your body has to have time to adapt and catch up. Great job! Hugs, Candy 266/225/130

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PLATOS.. AND EACH TIME THEY MIGHT LAST A WEEEK OR WEEK AND A HALF.... BUT I WILL STILL BE LOSING INCHES... IF YOU ARE EXERCISING YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAT FAT... SO YOU WILL GAIN MUSCLE MASS WHICH IS SMALLER THAN FAT AND SO YOU LOSE INCHES... BUT MAY STAY THE SAME WEIGHT... DONT GET DISCOURAGED.. AS LONG AS YOU CONTINUE YOUR PROGRAM ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT SCALE WILL JUMP... YOUR DOING GOOD... BONBON
