Weighed Yesterday, Results Disappointing..sort Of

I had my VSG December 7, 2011. My high weigt in the program November 2009 was 462. My last weigh in in March was 366. I have been going to two clubs, walking a mile 4 times a week in addition to an hour workout. My pants were W60 L30 and now I can fit into W54. I also went from wearing 6X workout shorts to 3X.

 

I was looking forward to the results showing on the scale but it only said 362. Only 4 #$@ pounds change in 3 months!!. They don't do the body fat measurement.

 

My question is, is there truth to the 'I am rehsaping my body with the exercise' explanation?

 

I went through a similar 'scale hold' for about 3 months pre-surgery in 2011. It held at 30 pounds lost and then started to move again I was weighed in February and March.

 

How do I lose 6 inches in the legs and hips but no results on the scale?

Thanks, Benjamin. Sometimes (often) the administrators of the weight loss program that I am in (since November 2009) seem to have tunnel vision where the ONLY true evaluation of compliance and success is the numbers on the scale. I explained the change in sizes, despite the small change on the scale and still the focus was on how, I MUST be cheating on my diet somewhere. It's hard not to let discouragement creep in but I have my own goals and am happy to no longer be shopping at the end of the rack (6X) at the Big and Tall stores. I have no plans to go back to that guy in the picture who could barely walk without pain..
