My sister came over to help me mesure today. I have to say I was amazed that I am down 8 1/4 inches in 2 weeks! That is sure a great feeling! Oh and to get on a normal scale and weigh myself what a wonderful feeling!

Congratulations! That is amazing. I REALLY wish I would've measured before I had surgery, but I avoided all cameras and tape measures. Keep up the great work.

Congratulations!

Hey that is great! Do you by any chance know how many pounds you lost to equal those 8.25 inches? Im just curious.

Anyways, congrats!!

Congrats! Good for you! Measuring yourself is the smartest thing anyone can do because that way if you don't lose lbs that week at least you usually can say you lost an inch or two.

conratulations--that is awesome! :thumbdown::smile2:My surgeons office actually gave me a big three ring binder of information before my surgery. One of the things in there was a measurement spreadsheet for all parts of your body. It is awesome. I took my measurements the night before my surgery and plan to do it once a month (that's what they recommended). I couldn't wait any longer than yesterday so after 3 weeks I've lost 3 inches in my waist. For me, that was just so wonderful! I never really understood about the whole inches lost thing. I've only lost 13 pounds since my surgery.

Keep up the good work--I hope to enjoy shopping somewhere besides lane bryant as well.

Congrats!!! Keep up the good work! It's a great journey isn't it???

Congrats that is WONDERFUL :thumbdown:
