Loosing weight but not inches

I'm 5ft 5, and whist my weight is okay, my body shape is horrendous.

I have NO waist and skinny legs - Yuck!

The most annoying thing is I have lost weight but no inches on my hips, waist or arms. Why?

These are the problem areas, trust me! Where has the weight come off from?

    I made it to maintenance about a year ago...for the 2nd time in my life. In both instances my body shape changed for about a year after. Look up some threads about skinny-fat. There should be a lot of them, but that is where I am right now and it sounds like you are possibly at the same juncture. My plan is to start lifting heavy to reshape whats left.

    what kind of workouts do you do? If it's just cardio, you should start trying some strength training as well.
