Sometimes the scale doesn't move as quickly as we would like -- important to know that it's all happening, bit by bit. So happy to be losing my Mrs. Winnie-the-Pooh physique: I did some number comparisons this morning at four months out:

Waist -- down 5.5 inches (wow! that accounts from going from size 18 to 14 in pants)

Bust -- down 4.0 in inches (bra shopping needed; getting desperate)

Hips -- down 4.4 inches

Thigh -- down 3.5 inches

Arm -- down 3 inches (very happy about this one! That's a lot on one arm!)

Neck -- down 1 inch

I wish I had done this in the beginning. I finally did do some measurements last Saturday, but I'll never know how many inches I truly lost from the beginning. But you're right, the scales aren't always going to be a reliable source to gage your weight loss too.

I agree with I would have done it in the beginning. I have to go get a tape measure for those times when the scale doesn't move.

But WAY TO GO BANDISTA!!!! Those are some pretty awesome losses and you can definitely see it in your pics!!!! Keep the great work!!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
