How I lost 39 inches off my body by Eating Clean, Low Carb, on an Adkins diet

39 inches!

It is so important to do the measurements initially, and then re take them, whenever.

I just did measurements again last weekend. I am shocked. That is a lot of total inches off the body! (see below)

I was not really regimented with doing this on a specific 3 month schedule. I just have some data to look over and dated it to determine how far I've come.  Another way of acknowledging this plan was working and I was being successful with staying the course.

The inches decreasing show a true body fat loss -vs- just lbs lost.

When you are trying to lose weight, or talking to people about this subject, "muscle weighs more than fat" comes up a lot.  Or "you look like you've lost weight." when you know good and well you are still a certain number which is way off a normal weight range.

Now, I am and always have been a curvy girl. Plain and simple, I have junk in the trunk, and always had before it was a fashion statement. At my heaviest (#225) I wore a size 16/18 pant and had definition in my waist.

I liked the idea of my clothes fitting better or fitting back into clothes (sizes 10/12)  I was storing (!)

Ultimately, I needed to solve the problem of what was going in the "boca"(food consumption) so I could finally master the control over the scale numbers going down!
