Former SSMO to Getting Skinny ~I've lost how many total inches?!?!
If you are just starting out, I would like to encourage you to take measurements to track alongside with pounds lost. Shoot, if you're still in your losing phase and don't take measurements...start.
In my case, they tell an amazing story of how far I've come beyond total pounds lost. :)
I take measurements every month. I have from day one of my pre-op weight loss phase. Today, just for giggles, I totaled up my inches lost to date. All I can say is OMG!!!
Here are just a few of the staggering numbers...
Waist - 30.5 inches lost
Hips - 42.25 inches lost
Bust - 19.5 inches lost
etc, etc. etc....
Total inches lost to date ~ 168.5 . (I measure neck, bust, waist, hips, both upper arms, both thighs. These are the same areas my center measures.)
Happy measuring!!

Just laid out a piece of rope the length of my total inches lost. What a crazy visual of how much 168.5 inches really means. I was at one time carrying that on my body!!!
