Weight loss but not inches?

How is it you can lose weight without losing many inches? I have lost 8 pounds over the last month. My upper body has stalled but my thighs have lost over an inch each. I don't understand how one does not correlate to another.......

My whole life experience of dieting and losing weight has taught me that I will never be able to predict where my body chooses to store fat and in what order it will use that fat. I do not loose inches proportionally.

Our bodies are complex systems, not simple machines. As we lose weight, burn fat, and build muscle, we will see all sorts of changes, shifts, and surprises.

I am noticing the biggest changes in my legs right now. Others see changes in my face. Also, don't forget most of us also have a lot of internal fat around our organs that is harder to measure with a tape measure.

That is very true! I never thought of that! I guess I thought all of my fat made me fluffy on the outside! As we were measuring my thighs I also noticed changes. It was kind of funny there was a flat part on my thigh then it went fluffy again!
