What Average Weekly Inches Loss?

[sleeve_sister 110]

I just started taking measurements so I don't really know what an average is. I only lost 3 lbs last week but I lost 4 inches in my bust and 3 off my waist. Is that good or not so good?

I don't think that you can put an average on it. What is your total weight loss? Some as they progress along will lose inches and not as much weight, looks like this may have happened to you.

I try to rely less on what the scale says and more on what my clothes say. I have gone from a 48 jean to a snug 38 jean and a snug 3xl shirt to a xxl-xl and honestly that's more important to me then any number a scale can show me. Now to address you concern. I had 1.5 weeks where I stay pretty much the same weight but was still shedding inches. Then one day the weight started falling off again! Hang in there!

Thanks! I just wasn't expecting a stall since I still can't eat much. Last week I didn't shed any weight that's why I took measurements. I had to pack up some clothes this week because they no longer fit. I've gone from a 24 to a loose 20. I guess since I've had such big numbers the first 4 wks I just expected it to continue. It's going just in other means rather than the scale.

If I had to pick 4 inches or 4 pounds inches would win every time! 7 inches in a week is awesome!

I'm only 4 weeks out of surgery and I'm down 19 lbs but not down ANY inches. I can't figure out how this is possible.
