    Give your body time, It could mean your body is adjusting to a new diet. You could be losing internal body fat also.

    ^ This. I'm currently 206 and working to drop to about 190. The last time I weighed this much I most certainly did not have a flat stomach. I was decidedly tubby!

    As your fat cells shrink, and you add lean muscle. Your weight will change very little. Mine just started dropping again. Weight is just one tool.

    I lost inches but not one pound for the first six weeks after I started to eat better. Congratulations on your success at becoming more healthy.
