Measuring Total Inches Lost



Recommended Posts

When people say they've lost ___ total inches, where are those inches measured?:lol: I'm assuming waist, hips/bum, anywhere else?

I started doing this and began measuring all kinds of places (ie. arms, thighs)...then I thought- if I have a huge list of measurements I'd only have to lose a tiny bit to get a huge total loss...LOL...:rolleyes2:duh, there must be a standard list, right?:)

my trainer measures:

neck

forearm / bicep

waist

hip

thigh

calf

it's a really good idea to take measurements - they help you from going crazy when the scale doesn't want to move...

I measure the above too, but minus the neck.

So really? There's no "standard"? Thanks!

Hmm...ankles, thumbs, knees, earlobes,....those 1/8" are going to start adding up (Today=253" lost! Hee-hee).

I have a Realize band and the site has you measure the same as what luluc listed but adding in the bust.

      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.
