An invariant of the bi-Lipschitz equivalence of analytic function germs \(f:(\mathbb R^n,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb R,0)\) is constructed which varies continuously in many analytic families. The invariant is given in terms of the leading coefficients of the asymptotic expansions of \(f\) along the sets where the size of \(| x| | \text{grad} (f(x))| \) is comparabel to the size of \(| f(x)| \). As an example let \(f_t(x,y) = x^3 - 3t x y^4 + y^6\) define a one parameter family of germs \(f_t : (\mathbb R^2,0) \to (\mathbb R,0)\), \(t \in \mathbb R\). It is proved that if \(t,t^\prime\) are sufficiently generic, then \(f_t\) and \(f_{t^\prime}\) are not bi-Lipschitz equivalent function germs, that is, there is no germ of bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism \(H : (\mathbb R^2,0) \to (\mathbb R^2,0)\) such that \(f_t \circ H = f_{t^\prime}\).
