Default 47.25 Inches!

Today my center meausured me because I have been on plan for 10 weeks. I have lost 47.25 inches! The lady actually added it all up again because she thought it was wrong. I had been having a depressing week (and normally my comfort is fast food) and now I am so proud of myself for staying out of the drive through and on plan! I think going to the gym 3 times a week is finally starting to pay off!

That's AMAZING!!! Congrats!! That definitely motivates me to get my butt back there, even in this gross gross rain!

I'm actually really lucky because for the show that I'm in, they had to do really really thorough measurements for costumes, etc., so in a few months I'm going to ask them to re-measure me to see how much I've lost!! I'm excited Also, since they're going to make costumes to those specs, maybe when I put the costumes on I'll realize that they're too big or something...well, hopefully!!

Congrats, i just being my skeptical self lol, but where did u measure from, like what places? To me it doesn't seem real to be honest with you, you only lost 35lbs and u took off 47.25 inches how was that possible? I aeven asked my trainer if that was possible and he looked at me like i was crazy. Idk it just doesnt seem real. lol

My center measures the neck, the upper arm, the bust, waist, midsection, hips, inner knee, and ankle. So, when we talk about inches lost, we talk about total inches. Meaning, my total measurements on day one were 47.25 inches less that my measurements 10 Saturday. 8 of the inches alone were in my waist (3 pants sizes), and 5 in my neck. I'm not sure if you were thinking that I lost that much in one area, or not. I was measured by MY trainer when I started at the gym too, and I recall that they measured about the same places - maybe they measured thighs too or something, but it was definitely close. Either way, they are inches that aren't there anymore - I take up that much less space
