barrbdoll 287 Posted August 10, 2012 So... my surgery was April 16th and it's been about a month since I have measured myself... I am happy to report that 10 inches have fallen off my Hips, Waist AND Chest!!! So, 30 inches in just those 3 key areas!! I am so happy that I am losing inches evenly!!! I was a good size 24/26 and am now fitting comfortably in a size 18... YAY!! Did I mention that I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!! Best decision I have EVER made and best money I have EVER spent!!!! 3 Lissa, pkehrer and mrscastillo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barrbdoll 287 Posted August 10, 2012 Inches were definitely one thing that I wanted to track so I am glad that I created a log. When I would stall and the scale stopped I found that I would lose inches so it was very comforting!! It's never too late to start!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted August 10, 2012 You're right, Barb. It's never too late to start measuring yourself!! I just did my measurements this morning and I've lost another inch and a half from my waist. I'm sure that measurements have kept me sane throughout this journey!! Congrats on 30 inches gone FOREVER!!! 1 barrbdoll reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinaMari 75 Posted August 10, 2012 That's amazing! I'm super happy for you. What kind of exercise are you doing ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barrbdoll 287 Posted August 10, 2012 Just basic toning (free weights. sit-ups, etc..) at home... I am not a gym freak and the only cardio I get is yard work and some walking here and there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
