I am not sure how many inches as I did not measure to start, I will have to get a tape measure and start.
With the pills the weight is coming off very slow. Which is good I guess. I just placed another order for more pills. The only benefit they have that I can tell is that they take away my cravings and hunger. I do not think that they have sped up my metabolism any. Plus my weight goes back and forth. Yesterday was 10lbs this morning it is 8lbs. I just have to keep trying and for me the less I eat the more I lose. But we all know that is hard to do.
