Not losing inches?

Okay, i started this weight loss endeavor back in mid-may. Since then i've lost about 20 pounds. I didn't take any measurements when I first started out. I took my first measurement at the end of June, after I had lost about 10 pounds. Then my second mid-july. Since then, i've lost about another 10 pounds, but NO inches whatsoever. I know i'm measuring in the same areas, but it seems like each time the measurements stay EXACTLY the same- to the 1/4th inch.

It's really frustrating considering the fact that measurements mean more to me than the number on the scale. How long does it usually take for inches to drop?
Again, not quite sure if i'm missing something or this is normal because it's only been 10 pounds.
(I've only just recently started exercising if that helps at all. I also took about a 2-3 week break where I ate just below my TDEE so I wasn't losing anything.)
