I've been here on this board probably as long as anyone who is still here (other than Shara), and I've been struggling a long time to lose weight.

I originally lost 50 pounds in about 8 months, but since that time (in November of 2000) it has been the biggest struggle to lose much more. My lowest has been 57 pounds off, currently at 55.

Needless to say this gets discouraging. I wanted to share something with you all though that I find interesting.

I took my measurements when I first lost 50 pounds and then I took them again today. Now keep in mind I've only lost five additional pounds since then.

I've lost:
3.5 inches in my hips
3.625 inches bust
4.75 inches across the navel
3.375 inches around waist
2.625 inches around the area just under my bra
2 inches around the thigh
1.5 inches aroud the calf
.75 inches around the neck
1.625 inches upper arm.

Total? 23.75 inches smaller (in just the areas measured) and 5 pounds.

So if you aren't losing, try not to get discouraged. Some of us don't lose pounds, but we do lose inches. Fat IS melting away, and muscle is being made. There is no other explanation. Hang in there everyone.
