How can you go from a size 16 to a 12 and not lose any inches? That right there speaks volumes. Sounds like you are doing something right to me! :clap2:

Oh, and my doctor says to not concentrate on the pounds as they will drive you crazy. :rolleyes:

Don't worry, the scale will move. You're losing fat and gaining muscle - muscle weighs more AND it's smaller! Hooray.

Don't worry, the scale will move. Your body is compacting, before you know it you're going to drop weight like crazy. Keep moving.

Don't worry, the scale WILL move.

If you dropped sizes, then you dropped inches. It could be that there was a flaw in the measuring, or something like that. But you do see the change. and you do feel the change. the scale will move. the body takes time to adjust, and should not be expected to adjust overnight.

Your body is turning fat into lean muscle mass. That is why you don't see the scale go down but you see the sizes. If you turn 10 lbs of fat into lean muscle you may see a size or 1/2 size difference. Understand?

User error would be my guess. Measuring yourself with a tape measure is an inexact science at best. If you've dropped 2 sizes, you've dropped inches!

It is utterly bizarre to lose inches and not weight on the scales though, isnt it?
