I've lost inches, but how much would it weigh?

[dimligump]

I've started to lose weight sensibly, but didn't weigh myself at first, using measurements instead. I've lost 2" from the hips and 1" from my waist in about 2 weeks. I'm 5'5" and weighed myself today (flippin shock) and was bang on 13 stone. Now I'm wondering what I was at the start of the new eating regime. Any ideas?

You've lost around 7-10lbs.

I agree with Ethel there. Well done, by the way. It's sensible to go for much less per week though - 2-3lbs. The faster you lose it, the chances are that you'll put it back on again. Let your body get used to a gradual change - and best of luck.

Super fast answers - thank you very much!

I'm pleasantly surprised as I thought I would be losing 1 to 2lbs per week. It just shows what cutting out white wine and salt n vinegar crisps can do. It has certainly motivated me to exercise more and be careful with the calorie intake.

Yes, you've done well.

Don't get disheartened - you always lose more in the first week or two, and it should settle down at around 2lb per wee.

May not sound much, but it is still 108lbs in a year.

Not suggesting you have 108lbs to lose, by the way. :)
