Does anyone know? Inches to pounds?


Quote  |  Reply
Hi, I am wondering about how much weight I would have to lose to lose 7 inches. Or, how much an average person weighs being a size 15 in Juniors? Here's a little about myself to help us figure this out:

I am 16 years old.

I weigh 231.5lbs (on Monday).

I am currently a size 16 Womens.

Height is about 5' 4''.

I was wondering if with diet and exercise I could lose 7'' from my waist and hips by New Year's Day. Is it possible? I know I could lose somewhere around 25 pounds or so.

Impossible to say.  Because you can lose weight and not lose inches, and you can lose inches and not lose weight.  Depends on the person.

Depends on your body fat, if you have a lot, well doing cardio, you will loose it, and you will loose those inches.

Do not worry about your weight, 'cause as far as I can see you want to fit in that dress for the new year's party.

lean muscle weights more than fat, so as for_sev said, you may loose those inches and even gain weight.

you may go to a gym and look for the instructor and tell him what you want to do, so watching you, he may help you.

As we can not see you it is difficult to help.

regards,

Guillermo.
