losing weight, not inches

Started Stronglifts around Jan 20th, 2012. I've lost 4/5ish lbs eating at a small deficit(1800-2000), lifting, and yoga these passed 2 months. Aim for 100+ g of protein a day. I am just wondering why my measurements haven't changed in 2 months. I am not very concerned about the number on the scale, I just want to be losing body fat.

Where is the weight I am losing coming from if my measurements aren't changing?

Thanks in advance.

Edited to say that I changed my diary settings yesterday and it deleted all mid-day logs and snacks from the past...ever? odd.

    A couple of reasons

    - It is really hard to be completely accurate with measuring in the same place with exactly the same tension
    - you could easily be losing from places you are not measuring.

    What Sarauk2sf said, especially that you could be losing from places you aren't measuring seem really likely to me, unless it's mostly water weight? But if you've lost it steadily/over time then that seems less likely. I'd be SO annoyed if mfp deleted all my mid day / snack logging!!!!! I wonder if you can message them and get it back?
