This thread seems due for an update. More importantly I seem to have lost
inches in my waist, and I'm not sure why. Several people have said that I look like I lost weight, and one specifically said that my stomach looked flatter and she was very insistent about it. The comments were a big surprise since I've fallen off the diet and exercise wagon hard. I have actually gained about 4 lb. I know that's a lot in such a short time I don't want to jump to conclusions about my waist size, especially since it's possible that I'm just experiencing less bloating, in which case the change might be temporary. I want to start keeping track of my waist to hip ratio, so here are my current measurements:

Waist: 27.5
At belly button: 31.5
Hips: 39

I believe my largest waist size when I was thinner was 29", which is questionable, but it was definitely 28" for quite some time, so there has been a minimum of a 1/2" decrease at the waist and possible even more at the "pooch" which is my trouble spot. I have a very bad memory, and it's easy to change your memories for the better when your memory is already patchy, so I would I take that 29" measurement with a huge grain of salt if I were you It would be amazing if I really did lose 1.5" while gaining 4 lb, which is yet another reason to be skeptical, but I'm feeling very optimistic. I really hope it doesn't turn out to be nothing more than a decrease in bloat *crosses fingers*
