Losing Weight but not Inches?



Recommended Posts

I have lost over 30 pounds but I haven't lost any inches. I measure my chest, waist and hips every week and it has been 3 weeks. Has anybody else had this happen?

I lost 40lbs before I went down a pants size. It was gangbusters after that though! Hang in there

I haven't been sleeved yet but I have lost a lot of weight in the past. I gain and lose weight pretty evenly throughout my body. It takes a lot more lbs for it to show I'm losing weight because of this reason. Some people lose it like off a part of their body like their stomach for instance and nowhere else right away so you see it almost instantly and can measure it. But it's been my experience that our of the blue I am in smaller sizes and people are like wow what did you do? The bad thing is that's how I gain too.

It took me 40 pounds before I went down a size. It seems I lose everywhere. As a result , it seems my feet are getting smaller then my waist.

Lol am the opposite, seem to be stalled and loosing/gaining the same 3 pounds but have been losing inches. Was sooo frustrated and stopped weighing myself for a while. Clothes feel looser so I'll go with that and stop obsessing.

You'll lose weight and no inches.

The you won't lose weight and you'll lose load of inches.

That's how it works. Don't panic, it will happen :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
