So my weight has bounced back up once again for unknown reasons and it was very discouraging to see that happen again (it basically evens out to 1-2 lbs lost over almost 8 weeks of strict Keto now, reminder I have over 70+lbs to lose). Back on April 16th (10 days ago), I took measurements for 10 areas of my body (being much more careful this time for consistency and ease of future measuring).
I am super happy that I have lost the following inches:
1/4 inch from chest (mid-chest)
1 inch from under breasts
1 inch from natural waistline
1/2 inch from waist/butt below belly button
1/2 inch from both left arm and right arm
I am confused though, because I thought you lose inches from the fattest area first! By far my tummy and inner thighs seem to be the very fattest and largest in proportion to the rest of my figure…but those are the areas that haven’t budged. I am really glad now that I am measuring though, I can see why some people lose even inches, but don’t feel different in their clothes that much…maybe it is where the inches are being lost, if I had lost all those inches in my tummy for instance, my pants would be noticeably baggy. I wonder if it is the insulin resistance that is holding the fat on tummy/thighs…it would make sense with what I’ve heard on 2KetoDudes for the stomach getting fat with IR and I have had discoloration on inner thighs since childhood (a tan area associated with PCOS or IR).
