How on earth is it possible that I am still losing inches yet not losing any weight? It makes NO SENSE to me. Advice, anyone?

Weight is not a good metric for body composition. I would ignore it.

You are losing FAT and actually gaining MUSCLE!! Don't worry about the weight number. Concentrate on the inches lost!! WAY TO GO YALDANI! Keep up the good work!

Hi there, reading through your posts was so funny cause you and I think alot alike. Weight has such value, but I think it is because of being a 21st century american woman who has social media thrown in our face about what is a "skinny" weight and a "skinny" look. I haven't been good about keeping measurements with inches so I have been very discouraged by the scale.If I would measure with inches more often I wuold be more encouraged, I'm sure. You and I should stop looking at the scale.
Overall, I am so happy for you! 20+ inches in 6 weeks is so awesome! I can't wait to see your next progress post!

I haven't posted since February because I re-inflamed an old injury and ended up with a bulging disc in my back. I gained back some weight - first because I couldn't move, then because I got a little depressed.
Hopefully this month will bring a return to exercise and the full diet, and I'll start updating again.
