Scale not moving... but im definitely shrinking!

So today i did some shopping and have recently been purchasing larges and 11/12 in bottoms. I began waist training and wearing compression garments throughout the day and when i workout. i use a brand called Squeem which is a compression garment made of rubber and cotton. it is sooo comfortable and the rubber (for some odd reason) has done wonders in fading my stretch marks and tightening my abdominal skin! I have been stuck at 180 despite my continuous efforts at the gym and the scale hasnt moved in two weeks! but today when shopping all the larges and 11/12's were too big. that's right, i've gone down another size. im now a medium (even in leggings which are already tight) and an 8/10. this is such a wonderful feeling. dont be discouraged when the scale doesnt move. inches are coming off! i think i can attribute some of that to the compression garments. my waist is now a 30 and waist training works!

Yes! Please give details. When does someone wear something like this? Daily under clothes or just during exercise?

compression garment is just another name for shapewear but the compression is a lot stronger and designed to contour the waist area. most of them using a strong fabric called powernet. many people wear compression garments after liposuction to contour the body.. I recently began considering lipo and got into research on compression garments and figured if i wear them around the clock, i should get a good contour without the lipo (i mean im losing weight anyhow). there are many different kinds. the number one brands are Vedette Shapewear, Squeem Miracle Vests and Body Panty and Fajas Columbianas. Im sure there are tons more but these are the ones i currently have, and i use the squeem around the clock. they are uncomfortable but the more you wear them the loser they get (inches are coming off) and as you train the waist, you move to smaller and smaller sizes. i started off in a large squeem now i am in a medium. i sold my large on craigslist and it went so fast. people really are obsessed with squeems. makes a huge difference and looks great in clothes. hides unnecessary rolls and things like that. i've become obsessed and i even sleep in them.
