in Health and Weight Loss
I have dropped one sometimes two dress sizes but have not dropped more than 1lb in the past 3 weeks.

I have not been under my calorie allowance in fact often I am over.

I have not done much sport. in fact any sports - due to high workload in the office.

why am I losing inches? how?

    How do you know that you dropped sizes? Did you go shopping?

    I'll take an inch over a pound, any day!

    My skirt was so big it would go over my hips while still done up! So i had to buy a new one which was two sizes down. I also tried on a shirt and skirt which didnt fit a before and they fit great now. I lost so many inches i had to buy a smaller suit.

    However - disclaimer - i've weighed this morning and lost about 3lb in 2 days. So i think it might have been water weight / period bloating hiding my weight loss.

    I also am eating much healthier so think my body fat % is down, and maybe my normal activity is gaining musle? I used to eat crap like whole day bread and pasta and cake.

    This happens to me, too. I have no idea why but I'll take it.
