Hi guys,
I'm still relatively new at all this but I'm having a bit of trouble. I'm not losing on the scales. But I'm definitely losing on body size because I can now actually pull down this one pair of trousers without opening them. If you don't mind, please take a look at my diary. If somebody could enlighten me, I would be thrilled.
Thank you so much![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
(PS, don't be afraid to be harsh about my 'treats' I'm working on myself with those)

I don't know your stats, but it looks from your ticker like you don't have all that much to lose. When you are close to goal weight, losses will come more slowly. I recommend setting your loss goal on MFP to .5 pounds a week. Taking measurements is a better way to track progress than looking at the scale, anyway.
ETA: Also, increase your protein goal so you retain muscle while losing weight.0 -
If it's only been a week or so, you may need to wait a little longer to see results!
Carry on, and in a month nothing has changed then perhaps look at making changes. In general, try to reduce processed food and eat lots of fruit and veggies. I subscribe to the IIFYM (if it fits your macros) school of thought- carry on with those treats as long as you're aware of what you're eating the rest of the time and not going crazy on your cals or fat0 -
Go to the newbie threads, although I realize you aren't one. They had a very interesting post about metabolism changes. Click 185 lb women not losing.0
