I have similar woes - but about my bellyfat. Seems I get nice and lean everywhere except the belly. You have to stay at it long enough ( with modifications of course as your body changes) to hit the really hard fat that doesn't want to leave. In a pear's case, the hipp/butt/thigh fat.

Plus - if you're feeling smaller you probably are. You can lose fat in all kinds of places that wont show in your clothing size - wrists, neck, bust, ankles feet.... it's discouraging not to see dramatic losses like some other people and to not turn into a bikini goddess within a month, but there are so many more benefits to eating this way than sudden weight loss.

take care - and keep at it.
