    Yes! I noticed my clothes fit different but I had hardly lost any weight, and then the weight started dropping. Better to feel it in your clothes than to see it on the scale!

    When you start a new exercise regimen you can gain up to 4lbs in water weight from muscle recovery. You might be losing fat but still holding that water. Wait a couple weeks and see what happens!

    I was just wondering, are you staying under your calories that you are supposed to? Yes, muscle weights more then fat, but if you stay under your calories you should lose something, although, my sister has a hard time and has the same problem. She also carries her weight in her middle section. Have you had your thyroid checked? Her thyroid is bad and she does have to take synthetic thyroid medicine for it.

    If your pants are not as tight, then I'd have to say that it probably is muscle weight...who doesn't want muscle weight?
    I'd start measuring in. or cm. if you really want to keep good track.:wink:
