Hi, I've been on Atkins since June 16th. I have lost 15 pounds,but the inches are moving hardly at all.Maybe a 1/2 inch off my hips. So how is this when the weight is moving. I would really like to see that happen. Anybody know, what is going on. Thanks Lacey

You rarely lose inches and pounds at the same time. Also it sounds like you have measured, but sometimes we lose in places we haven't measured, like your face, your lower arms, neck, even your feet.

There is a thread -- how fat moves around -- or something like that, it should explain it better -- if I find it I'll post the link for you.

Thanks for the link, Debi-

lacy-o, im having the same difficulty. i think i may have gone down half a size, but i dont feel any slimmer, even after 15 pounds. guess i'll just have to be patient. ugh.

I'm in agreement with Debi! I'm down 10 pounds, but lost an inch or so in the major areas (hips, thighs, etc).....but my face and neck and forearms are much slimmer! crazy! It all depends on how much muscle you have too.... muscle weighs more but appears less. Perhaps doing some toning could help with the inches? I am not sure, but you could try.

hope this helps
