Last week was week 4 for me...other than the l-b's dropping, I was sure to TAKE MEASUREMENTS! So, here's my stats: I'm 5'6", 33, Female, starting weight and measurements taken at 2-week pre-op date. I took a TON of measurements...everything that I wanted to see a change in, but here are the highlights:

3.11.11 5.1.11

weight 255 221

neck 15 14

bust 50 46

underbust 44.5 39

waist 45 40

belly button 50 45

panni (ugh) 53.5 48

hips 51 47

thigh 30 28

calf 16.5 15.5

upper arm 17 15

above elbow 13.5 11.5

Total inches LOST FOREVER: 37"!!!

This was some of the BEST advice I've received, it's so nice to not only see the numbers on the scale...but these numbers just make it all worth it!!

Woohoo! Congrats!

that is so AWESOME!!

Congrats!

:cheer2:WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that is awesome! Congrats on your amazing losses! How tall are you?

Congrats!!! That's amazing.

Amazing stats!! Love seeing results like this! Except for our height, our starting measurements are almost identical.

Thanks everyone! I'm so thrilled to be ditching all 'those' old numbers!

Hey Wishes: I'm 5'6"

I misread the original post as 5' 3". At 5' 6" we really are almost identical in starting stats. Awesome!

Congrats! I think I may start measuring myself as well, that seems like it would be way better to do than staring at the scale all day lol.

VERY Smart! Wish I would have done that; I might not be as discouraged as I am now. lol Your losses have been amazing...keep doing what you're doing and you'll reach your goal in no time!!

Yay for you!!! That's great to see numbers like that!

I know my surgeon's nurse took my measurements the first time I met with her. think I'm going to request to see them so I can start measuring myself too and watch those inches melt away!
