I am just not understating inches vs weight loss

[waiting&waiting 21]

Hello everyone,

It's been months since I posted but this whole weight loss journey is a bit confusing when it comes to losing inches and never seeing the scale move since my last fill four months ago.

Last fill 7.1 roughly four months ago, I believe, I'm in the green zone as I rarely hungry and can literally go 10 hours in between meals and have before many days of the week.

So question is... I have lost many inches all over, just this week alone, I was measured for a bra and found I lost 10 inches alone around my back and bust area. My stomach area, 6 inches, my hips 4 inches, legs 2 inches....

Sooooo why in the world am I not seeing any numbers move on the scale at all. I mean if your losing fat by inches, why don't you see number wise.

I was fifteen pounds smaller four years ago when I could wear a size 10, put those away for some years, and now still fifteen pounds heavier, I can wear them again. Uggggh I'm just frustrated.

I will admit to everyone, I don't eat much, Protein drink bfast and lunch most days, very small dinner, and I do occasionally get stuck. I fill up very easily. Maybe need adjusted as I may be close and in between green zone to just hitting red zone. I love how I feel though, never hungry, I've waited for that feeling five months ago now nine months since surgery.

Thanks for any advice.

Muscle is dense,it takes up less room then fat a pound of muscle takes up less then half the space as a pound of fat maybe you have more lean muscle on your body

It's really quite simple how this works but I know it's frustrating to not see results on the scale. We've all been conditioned to think lower numbers on the scale = less fat. But that's just not the case. 4 months is a long time to not see any results but if you keep at it, soon you should see some lower digits on that scale. Check out this video:

Do you exercise a lot?

I don't exercise like I should, but a doc told me when I ask him (my cousin is a primary care in Ohio), when you increase your lean Protein intake, it will help build muscle up no matter what. He, just like my surgeon, says just hang on the scale will catch up in time.
