    I'm 21lbs down and I haven't lost a single inch from any of the places MFP measures. I have, however, lost inches in other places and my pants fit just a little better. My success isn't the numbers. My success is how I feel. I know everyone is different though and measures their success differently.

    It's great you're down your first 5. Keep it going. Try not to let unmoving numbers get you down. It will come eventually. Your body will lose weight and inches it's own way and from the places it wants to.

    It takes more than a week to see results typically. I think the saying goes that it takes 4 weeks for you to notice, 8 weeks for those closest to you to notice, and 12 weeks + for everyone else. I could be wrong in that, but either way don't give up. Keep going!

    Great start, congratulations. Patience is key, as it's going to take a lot longer than a week.

    Don't worry about inches. It'll happen, but fat builds up in different places on different people. Weight gives you a better overall picture.
