Here's why i keep saying "Take your measurements!"



Recommended Posts

I'm in that third week stall and was starting to get discouraged by the number on the scale. I dragged out my handy dandy measuring tape and boom! Despite remaining the same weight, I've lost three inches from my waist, one and a half from my hips, and half an inch from my bust.

Take your measurements! Don't be a slave to the scale. I promise it'll be encouraging when the scale won't budge.

I wish I had :( I didn't take measurements or pictures. I just didn't want to see any of it...

Now I wish I had because the numbers are moving slow and having something else to go by would if been nice!

Agree I went in at 246 I am now 220 and have lost 39 inches over all. Went from a 2xl to large and a 22-24 to a 16(that fits loose) .

I didn't either but wish I would have. I am in a stall now and could use proof of loss somehow. I came home and measured myself today. Better late than never. :)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
