Losing Weight but not Inches?

I have lost over 30 pounds but I haven't lost any inches. I measure my chest, waist and hips every week and it has been 3 weeks. Has anybody else had this happen?

    You'll lose weight and no inches. The you won't lose weight and you'll lose load of inches. That's how it works. Don't panic, it will happen

I haven't been sleeved yet but I have lost a lot of weight in the past. I gain and lose weight pretty evenly throughout my body. It takes a lot more lbs for it to show I'm losing weight because of this reason. Some people lose it like off a part of their body like their stomach for instance and nowhere else right away so you see it almost instantly and can measure it. But it's been my experience that our of the blue I am in smaller sizes and people are like wow what did you do? The bad thing is that's how I gain too.

It took me 40 pounds before I went down a size. It seems I lose everywhere. As a result , it seems my feet are getting smaller then my waist.

Thank you guys for your help, it is encouraging me when I am fustrated.

Lol am the opposite, seem to be stalled and loosing/gaining the same 3 pounds but have been losing inches. Was sooo frustrated and stopped weighing myself for a while. Clothes feel looser so I'll go with that and stop obsessing.

The you won't lose weight and you'll lose load of inches.

That's how it works. Don't panic, it will happen :)
