Advice for losing inches

Hi,

I have a question... Hopefully, someone can shed some light and steer me in the right direction...

These are my stats: ( I have been exercising since Sept '11. My stats were exactly the same in March as they were in Nov '11. I took a hiatus prior to Sept from exercise because of pregnancy.)
Mar 2 April 6
148.8 - Weight 145.2 -3.6lbs
25.0% - Body fat 24.5% -.5%
39.5 – Hips 39 -1in
21.5 - R thigh 22 +.5in
34 – Waist 34
10 - R Bicep 11 +1in
36 - shoulders 36.5 +.5in


While I am losing weight, why are the inches not following along? I am not too happy with these numbers. I had been stuck at 147lbs for the longest, creeped up to 153lbs and back down to 147lbs and now finally hovering at 145lbs.. Considering the above stats: How did I lose weight but inches really? I gained muscle which is good but no inches lost.. Like a lot of women, I am working on eliminating the post baby belly..nothing is working...

While I am that I am losing weight, why are the inches not following along?

    I have the opposite problem...losing inches but not weight. You've only been at it for a month tho so I'd say give yourself time. It usually takes a little bit for my body to get the picture and fall in line:-)
