8kg will in most people drop around 2 inches from your waist measurement if you're losing from your fat stores. What's your waist measurement now compared to when you started?
Is a 6lb loss and half inch around naval a consistent loss? (my chest is deflated by an inch and my neck by half an inch so I'm guessing not)
Some of these general guidelines, numbers wise I find pretty useful. Could there be an answers post in the future to help people assess progress?
Depends on how overweight you are. If you're not considerabley overweight, you'll lose less weight proportionately to lose more inches.
For example, here Ian lost 3½ inches from his waist and to do that had to lose just under 30 lbs of fat, because he had more fat all over to lose.
Here on the other hand Alex lost 3 inches from his waist, but only had to lose half the amount of fat to do it because he wasn't carrying so much fat overall, just mostly what was left on his stomach.
So that's why I say on average, talking about the average overweight man, because Alex wasn't overweight, but still had a stone to lose to get a six pack.
