I am SO happy to find this thread! I felt like I'd lost weight, but when I weighed myself, the loss was very minimal, so I threw away my scale! Recently I got to the point where I was convinced I was actually GAINING weight, because my hips started to look so big! It wasn't that I've gained weight there, it's that I've lost everywhere else! I kept having to remind myself that I wasn't able to wear certain clothes a few months ago that are comfortable now. My friend finally convinced me to buy a tape measure, so I would stop driving myself crazy. Now I have PROOF that I'm losing (or reshaping). What a relief to hear it's NOT JUST ME!
