It seems I am waist obsessed lately :) Mine is SLOWLY decreasing...from 48" (oh my) to 34" currently. So happy to be under the 35" that physicians recommend!

I know with vanity sizing it impossible to aim for a size so I am aiming for inches :)

Do you track your measurements and if you do, is there a goal you are going for?

Right now, my waist is 36" down from 42". I'd like to get around 30-32" ideally, but we'll see when I get closer to my goal weight. :D

I also measure my arms. My biceps are 12.5" down from 14.5". I do measure hips, but I don't remember that one or my starting, but I think I lost about 4" from there. I also lost 2" from my upper thigh--25" down from 27". :)

I track but I had no goal. My waist is 26", I think. It's hard to know what it really is though because of the loose skin in that area.

Shamefully I do not measure and wish I had started, but you sound like you are doing great!

I've been doing measurements monthly at Curves so these are from April 1 starting before the pre-surgery diet.

waist                  46             33
bicep                  17             12.5
hip                      55              39
chest                  46              37.5
thigh                    27.5           21
calf                     17.25          14.25

I didn't set goals.  Just loved watching the inches melt away.

I haven't been tracking, either, but this post got me curious so I measured and I am 29 inches.  May still be a bit swollen from my hernia surgery.

My waist pre-op was 46.1825 inches. On the 24th when I measured, it was 35.5. It's my stubborn spot along with my batwings. Those will be the last spots to go down.

Mine is a 29.5 from 36, and it's stuck there.  I haven't lost any abdominal inches for the last forty lbs!

Pre-op I was a 54 (I was a beach ball with skinny legs). Currently, when I measure it, I'm a 29. However, I wear size 26 jeans (Gap), so vanity sizing continues!
