So I keep fluctuating with the same 5 pounds.. at first I lost about 10 pounds but nothing since. I lost a pant size in that same time frame, but i dont think it's changed much... Did any of you lose inches when the scale wouldnt budge? I hear that inch loss is a little more common in low carb dieting? Just want some reassurance is all :) I would rather lose the inches than weight, but I kind of feel like im going no where.

    My weight loss has not been linear - much more of a stair-step type pattern. I generally lose more inches/clothes sizes when the scale isn't moving.

    When my scale isn't moving, usually my inches are. It's usually one or the other, sometimes both but not as frequently. I lost 3 inches off my waist after 10 days of 30 day shred but only lost 2 pounds. I lost inches in other places as well.

    Sometimes, I've found, that via my scale -- the body fat % goes down before inches or weight....so....here's to hoping ;)

    Going through this right now, as a matter of fact. This is when I ditch the scale for awhile and just KCKO! :-)
