    Only thing I can think of is maybe if you ate/drank anything that could've made you a bit bloated when you measured? Try again tomorrow to see if theres a difference!

    This happened to me, too... with me, it was the excess skin from higher up the torso that sort of dropped to around my waist when there wasn't fat to fill it up. The smallest part of my waist is much narrower now, but if you measure right at the navel, it says the same or more than before. Discouraging, but that will go away in time. Just keep with it! :)

    It can take days for food to completely move through your system. I can't eat red meat because it sits in my colon for a week at least my body just can't process it well. Plus you could be bloated for other reasons too but still see a weight loss.
