Ummm...basic arithmetic? So, if I started out at bust Bust: 53.5 Waist: 45.5 Hips: 58 and am now bust 46.5 waist 39.5 hips 52.5, I have lost 7 off my bust (53.5 minus 46.5) 6 off my waist (45.5 minus 39.5) and 5.5 (58 minus 52.5) off my hips. Total loss, therefore, is 18.5. -- Lexin www.redrosepress.co.uk www.livejournal.com/~lexin LC since 9 June 2003 (300/237/182) YES, isn't that magic?? GOTTA LOVE THIS Low Carb life style !!!!!!!!

How could you have a 95 inch waist at 130 pounds? Are you sure your first measurements weren't in centimeters instead? > here are my measurements tell me if i figured this out right please > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > I noticed lost inches long before I was happy with the pounds lost.

The corresponding inches to those centimeters in the first set actually are smaller than her second set of numbers. Angie, If I were you I would toss out the first set of numbers and just start with the second measurements and go from there. Better yet, ask a friend or relative to help you take new measurements and start from scratch. Brenda 135/106 Luna wrote: > Um, I thought you started out around 130 pounds.

I mean, and been measuring from the end with the high numbers? -- Lexin www.redrosepress.co.uk www.livejournal.com/~lexin LC since 9 June 2003 (300/237/182) << Do you think she could have got the tape measure the wrong way round?

If she started at the wrong end it would mean something absurd like a 10 inch chest. I think Angie should ask someone she is comfortable with to help hew take the measurements. Angie, if you are indeed gong to join a gym, most will take your measurements for you. Brenda 135/106 > here are my measurements tell me if i figured this out right please > > before > hips 85 inches > after > hips 36 inches Not being funny, but I think you're mixing up inches and centimetres. If you were right, this would make the loss on your hips alone 49 inches. It simply isn't possible for this to be true unless your starting weight was more than the average killer whale. If it were, let's face it, the skin of your bottom would be dragging along the ground behind you. I suggest you re-measure, this time in centimetres. -- Lexin Hello Angela, > here are my measurements tell me if i figured this out right please > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > arms both 10 inches > waist 35 inches It might be best if you have a professional do the measurement. Many of those measurements appear to be incorrect. Take care, Carmen You lost FIVE FEET (60 inches) from your waist? That's more than the height of some people I know. I agree that you should throw out the original set of numbers. Or better yet, don't worry about measurements. Just judge by the fit of your clothes. Lee > here are my measurements tell me if i figured this out right please > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > after > waist 35 inches How long ago were your "before" measurements taken?
