Is anyone else seeing a difference physically, but not on the scale?

Okay so I've been doing really well at eating right, tracking my calories making sure I don't go over my goal of 1500 a day, and doing plenty of exercise. I walk 10,000-20,000 steps a day and Zumba 2-3 times a week and I've started biking for 30 minutes on my non Zumba days. I'm seeing a difference physically. I'm dropping down in clothes sizes, but the number on the scale does not change at all. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or am I just weird? Oh and if you've experience this before did you get to a point where you started seeing the difference on the scale?

    I've heard of it happening. Sometimes your body can hold on to excess water as you're losing fat. Sometimes you can put on a little muscle, sometimes both. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    The scale is just a tool. Your body is improving- congratulations on the success :)

    Dropping down in clothes sizes sounds pretty definitive!!!

    By the time the new size starts to feel loose, and if no scale movement still, then I would consider moving the scale!😉🤣
