Default losing weight but not inches, is that right?

Has anyone come across this one before, ??

I have lost nearly a stone in 8 weeks, and am very pleased, but not an inch of anywhere, just feel less bloated and flatter stomach??

That 14 pounds could come of in a number of places - just like has been previously said, fingers, neck, ankles - lots of places you wouldn't necessarily measure. For me I lost first in my face. I wish it would come off where we want it to first, but I'm just glad that it is leaving!

You also may reach a time where you are losing inches but not weight - which is fine with me too!

Default Haven't lost may inches either

i thought I just had something weird going on with my body too. I started Atkins in Feb and as of today I've lost 33lbs, but it sure doesn't seem like many inches to me either.

Don't get me wrong, I'm estatic, I've gone down two pants/dress sizes and those are now getting loose (16 regulars)

Started Feb Today May 29th

Weight 212 Weight 179
Chest 41 Chest 38
Waist 36 Waist 34
Hips 46 Hips 44

I guess I can't figure out how you can require smaller clothes but the measurements stay pretty much the same. My hands, feet, ankles, writst and face are smaller so maybe that's the secret. Oh, well I'll take what I can get.
