How many pounds does it take to lose 6 inches off your upper body?

I am a male and every Sunday I dress in my $200 suits now i want to drop my suit size by like 3 sizes. My friend says that losing 6 inches off your upper body is probably about 5lbs that you'll have to lose. Is he correct.

1. You can drop a lot of inches without losing much if you replace fat with muscle. It will really depend on your weight and height because depending on how you work out you should try to drop weight off the rest of your body too to keep things in good proportion to each other. The best things to do for upper body is bench presses, shoulder presses, sit ups, push ups and use free weights to get nice results for your biceps and triceps. Do a lot of exercises for you abdominals and your obliques. Great ones are crunches, pelvic tilts, leg lifts, and for a really tough work out do several bicycle moves. Since you keep your feet and shoulders elevated off the ground the whole time you are in the bicycle form it will work out every muscle in your core section and it does not take many reps to get results. Even though walking and running are great for the lower body doing those important cardio workouts can really help burn fat off the upper body too.
