Default 48 inches off my body!

Hi y'all. I measured and I have lost 48 inches off my body in the past 5 months!

This is 4 feet! I'm so excited! I can't believe that I'm that much smaller. I have only measured my chest, waist, stomach, hips, one thigh, one arm, and one wrist.... So in reality it's more inches but I wanted to share! I haven't lost much weight in the past few months, but I'm glad the inches are still disappearing!

Thank you all for your help! I couldn't do it without you ladies! You're all an inspiration to me!

Heather that is awesome! You really are an inspiration to me cause u have shown me that I can be happy with losing inches even if the scale isnt moving. It takes a lot to keep going even though you havent lost mounds of pounds but yr smaller than me and I weigh less. That is so great keep it up girl and I want to catch you with some inches lost.

You are doing so awesome. Don't ever think that you are not doing enough. Obviously, the inches are saying otherwise.

That is absolutely amazing!! You were smart to use a tape measure. Unfortunately, I didn't start my journey measuring myself You inspire me now to start measuring!!

Congrats! I've been wondering how it is people come up with the number of inches (I'd like to come up with my own number).

What parts do you measure and add up?

I wish I would have measured from the very beginning, but my first month I wasn't exercising and I lost 19 pounds and no measurements. But I quickly began to measure when I started exercising.

Everyone does this differently but this is what I do, whatever you start with be consistent.
I measure my chest with my bra on.
Natural waist
stomach
hips (around the butt)
one thigh
one arm, around the bicep
one wrist

I hope this helps.

WOW!! Congrats, thats really amazing! Good thing you took measurements, proves that the darn scale really isn't so accurate!

I have questions!! Are you following a diet, or just exercising? I think you told me you were counting calories a while ago.. How much time are you spending exercising each day?
