I read this and said oh yes. I have lost weight but I have lost more inches than weight. I am excited either way! are you exercising? When you build muscle tone back it can cause weight to change. Muscle is much heavier then fat. I know for me I sit at a weight and then suddenly i lose 3 or 4 lbs at once. Keep doing your routine the weight will come off if you are losing inches! congrats on the pounds you have lost!

Same issue with me and my surgery was in July, down 43 lbs but the inches are really coming off, down almost 3 clothing sizes. Weight is just a number, it can become obsessive, but the inches and looking and feeling better and more confident, now that's just fine by me!!

This may sound horrible but I was so upset with my scale I told my youngest daughter to hide it until the 1st of the month :) so I would stop getting on it every morning to see if it moved.

I've been thinking I should take my measurements so that I have one more way to track my progress.

That's what I finally did was measure my body cuz I stall for long periods of time and have been losing weight slowly but my cloths keep getting bigger and bigger!!!????
