Default Why do we lose inches and not pounds?

I have been on Atkins for about 3 weeks and have lost about 3 pounds. However, I feel much thinner than the scale shows, based on the way my clothes fit, etc. Does anyone know why Atkins makes you lose inches, but not necessarily pounds? Why does the scale not seem to reflect the inches lost? I have heard of a number of people who have had the same experience as me, where you are sure that you must have quite a few pounds but the scale doesn't show it. Any ideas?

I do work out six days a week, but I have always been a consistent exerciser, so I don't think I have added much muscle.

Thanks!
