About how much weight would I have to lose to get rid of 1 1/2 inches around my stomach?
I'm 5'3 and 122 lbs, I've already lost 20 lbs so I feel I'm getting pretty close to my ideal weight. However I feel I still have another 1 1/2 inches around my stomach to lose before it is reasonably flat. Does anyone know about how many pounds it would take to lose that 1 1/2 inches? I've heard that a 10 pound loss is about 1 dress size, is it the same for inches?

- Check out my before and after pics here http://www.healthandstrength.net. I lost alot of weight and I had problems with my tummy too. The things I noticed helped me lose those extra inches were: 1. Drinking more water 2. Doing a bit more cardio 3. My favorite ab exercises! http://www.healthandstrength.net/abexe.htm 4. My top ten foods that I ate every day http://www.healthandstrength.net/tenfoods.thm 5. Getting to sleep before 10pm made a huge difference 6. NOT eating sugar shrunk me so fast! 7. Sticking to it! You did a great job getting to where you were The amount of weight you have to lose depends. If you have alot of muscle, the amount will be altered. I would say you have about 10 pounds left, but keep in mind that the scale and your waist line are different measurements because of your muscle mass. Keep up with the weights and cardio and you will lose it dont worry at all :) Consistency is the key!
