Centimeters/Inches and NOT weight?

[TeganRheana 1]

Hiya...I think I've just realised that I must be losing more centimeters than weight and that's why it's not showing up on the scales. I have just managed to lose 2kgs FINALLY after my last fill (currently at an even 5ml) so I'm very happy with that, but that is the first amount of weight I have shifted for a good 2 months now...that being said, my pants are all falling off me!! I decided I would measure myself and now I will only be looking at my measurements rather than standing on the scales. I feel as though I'm losing weight, but when the scales tell me otherwise - its very discouraging. It is somewhat fascinating though as I don't do a heap of exercise...just the general housekeeping,shopping etc that is associated with being mum.

Anyone else lose more cm's/inches rather than weight??

I'm not losing very fast but I did get into some clothes that are a size smaller than what I was wearing pre-op. I think I'd better start measuring too. Maybe it will help if I get discouraged.

Its a good idea to take measurements. I took mine preop and have done them once since then. It gives you a huge boost to see how many cms you have lost especially when the scale isn't moving.

I have GOT to buy myself a measuring tape.. I'm upset with myself that I haven't yet. I was measured at my doctor's fitness center before my surgery and I have not been measured since. I KNOW I have lost inches, I can see it and feel it.

However, I am only down a few pounds on the scale... it's weird how you can feel like you are different yet don't see much on the scale, that part of it is driving me nuts. I am going tomorrow to get a measuring tape because I know I will be happy to see what I've lost in inches.. and I need to stay motivated with my exercise.

I'm definitely ready to start seeing a change on the scale. It's really starting to get to me. One day I am thrilled with myself and the next I feel like I should be doing better. I hate the rollercoaster of feelings but I know I have to deal with it.. there are always going to be good days and bad days. Plus, my weight fluctuates SO much in a day. I know this is normal but I never know what I really weigh. My weight in the morning is getting lower and later in the day its 4-5 pounds higher.. ?? Oh well.. as long as I am feeling the difference and feeling better about myself, that is the most important thing.

I'm going to measure in millimeters!! Then I'll have lot a bunch!

I have no idea how many inches I've lost

I am losing weight, but I measured myself a few weeks ago and had lost quite a few inches since my first measure (which was sometime after surgery but I can't remember when). I'm losing more inches on the top (neck, arms, boobs) then the bottom (waist, hips, thighs). I hope the lower half starts to catch up soon.
