Congratulations on those pounds discarded, Ammie
Is is odd how sometimes we lose weight but can't see much difference in inches - just as odd as those people who report losing no weight but needing to buy smaller dress sizes.
We lose weight in all sorts of places that we don't think to measure - I lost a shoe size as well as a hat size but had never thought to measure around my feet and head before starting Atkins
Also many of us lose from our hands and wrists - I had to have my watch straps and rings made smaller - so you might be shrinking there too as well as maybe losing some of those fatty deposits around your internal organs
You are doing a great job - keep up the good work
