How many inches have been lost on the DIS WISH Challenge?

[nativetxn]

I may not be shedding many pounds but I've certainly lost a few inches. I'm so glad I decided to keep track of my measurements as well as my weight, otherwise I would be very depressed about not losing much.

I did read that sometimes on the Atkins plan when you aren't losing pounds you are usually losing inches instead and it seems to be true for me

Since I took the DIS WISH challenge I have lost a total of 16 inches--8.5 of those inches were around my waist!!!!



I'm excited, can you tell?

Okay, who else is keeping track of their lost inches?

WOW Kath! That is amazing

I am not ready to measure myself!! I have enough issues getting on the scale. Maybe when I lose a bit more.

Are you feeling it in your clothes?

Kelsie, if you don't measure yourself now you will have nothing to compare it to later.

Yes, some of my jeans are just way too big now. My sweaters, etc fit much better.

The leather coat that dh gave me for Christmas that was too snug is almost too big now. I can suffer that inconvenience happily

wow that is awesome...I will have to measure myself and try that, since the scale does not seem to be budging...Congrats Kath that is awesome!!!

 

[Kelsie]

But I don't want to!!

Good for you Kath! Right now I am working on my summer clothes for my trip to Disneyland the end of next month. I'm afraid to even try them on at this point. I know I've gained at least 15 pounds since September.

DANG!!!! That is awesome, Kath! 8.5 from your waist??? OH MY! I won't tell you that I am a little teeny bit envious!

Congratulations. I should have started taking measurements too! I think my husband glued the scale needle into place for me. I suppose I could got an find the tape measure...

I thought of taking a before picture of me in my bathing suit so that I can take an after when I reach my goal, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe tomorrow!

Keep up the great work!

TigH, I don't think I have the guts to take a photo of myself in a swim suit. I know it's probably a good idea.

Kelsie! You started this WISH stuff now <b>go measure yourself</b>! How many times have you told Sarah that we all have to do things we don't want to do? Hmmmm?

Congrats Kath! That is awesome. I really don't have weight to lose, but I do have inches. I need to break out the measuring tape, although I am afraid as I used to obsess over weight and now I can't have a scale in the house. I weigh myself at Publix before I do my shopping (good incentive to put "good" food into the cart).

I just signed up for this DIS WISH challenege, but I've been working on changing my lifestyle since March of 2002. I started in a size 54 pants, and am now down to a size 38. I've always been under the assumption that men's pant sizes correspond to waist size. Is that correct?? If not, I better get a tape measure.

 

[nativetxn]

I think men's pants waist size correspond to their waist measurement.

WOW!!! You have done great, that's quite a loss of inches. Welcome to WISH.
