glorybee123 0 Posted October 27, 2008 OK so I'm going to brag just a little bit.....I measured myself just before surgery and now at almost 10 months out the comparison is astounding to me! I have gone from size 26 to an 18 and lost the following inches: neck- 3 upper arm-4 bust-6 bra band-4 waist- 7 1/2 hips-8 thigh-5 ankle- 1 1/2 wrist- 1 3/4 That's 40 3/4 inches gone from my body! I've even gone from a 10 wide shoe to a 9 medium! Has anyone else kept track of their inches lost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tapshoes 2 Posted November 4, 2008 Measuring myself was one of the best pieces of advice as I began this journey in February. The scales change during the day and clothing sizes are not standard between manufacturers, so I welcomed this suggestion to measure my changes. The day before surgery I measured myself in all ways - including the ones you listed, and a few more - and then once a month I remeasured. So even when I was on my plateau from he@@, and didn't lose weight for 6 weeks, I could see some changes. A small example...my bra band size has gone from a 44 to a 34...that's ten inches, and I'm not to goal yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
