Question:
WHy have I not lost inches for a long time??

I am at 4 months and down 76 lbs. I have lost 10 inches off my waist but nothing now in over a month! VEry frustrating for me. Will my body catch up? I am making myself crazy with the measuring tape! Wendy 10/29 259/183/145    — Wendy H. (posted on March 6, 2003)

Wendy, I wouldn't get too caught up on the inches. You may be losing from other areas of your body. Have you measured your neck, wrists, arms, bust, hips, thighs, calves, ankles, etc? To give your muscles a little kick, change your workout routine a bit. Add a few strength training exercises and see if that doesn't give your weight loss a little kick.

Put down the measuring tape for a while Wendy! Sometimes you can lose weight and not inches, and sometimes you can lose inches and not weight. I have no idea why, but both have happened to me. Try to only measure yourself once a month, that way you will see more results. And even though it's been a month, it is okay! Your body will definately catch up, sometimes our bodies just work in weird ways when we lose weight and can't control it. You will catch up though, don't worry! goodluck to you!
