How Does One Lose 2 Pants Sizes With The Scale Not Moving

I couldn't figure out the flood of compliments this week. People say things like: "You are shrinking before my eyes" "You are disappearing" etc.

I keep losing and regaining the same pound. This has gone on for weeks. 14s were a little lose and 12s fit better. Lo and behold, tonight I slipped into a size 10.

I know you lose inches sometimes while not losing pounds, but this is weird.

In the midst of my love-hate relationship with the scale, I have managed to lose inches and drop a few clothes sizes...miraculously.

Does that officially make you a skinny b***h? I think I could be underweight and still not wear a small. You guys suck. ;)

I was thrilled to put on my 22 pants the other day, then realized they're actually 24. Bah.

Skinny b***h. That's good :D . Under all this blubber I am very petite, yet a little curvy. At 5'1" and small bones I tended to wear X-Small clothes. I don't think i can go back to that though - not unless I had plastics. The boob skin isn't shrinking much, but they are deflated. I've got the skirt/apron thing going. It's not noticeable under clothes, but BAH!

I wouldn't mind a little height on me dang it!

It'll come off. We're all in the long haul. This is going to be an ongoing thing so if it takes 1 year, two years or three -- We are still smaller and healthier than before and we get to have that for the rest of our lives.

YAY sleeve!

You know what trips me out a bit. Those folks that started this journey at a 30 BMI. I;m a 30 now and feel super fit. I guess it's all relative huh?

Well, I'm tall (5'10 give or take) and I think that just means my droopy skin has farther to distort.
