    Is it normal to lose weight and not inches?

    Yes, at least temporarily. While losing, I found that while both my weight and measurements would gradually drop, they didn't stay in sync. Sometimes I'd drop some inches, later weight; sometimes weight, later inches.

    Also, especially at first, it may take some multiple pounds of loss to see a difference in measurements: You can be losing fat from areas we don't conventionally measure (face, for example); or losing tiny bits from many places, such that you don't really see those 1/8 inch differences in each individual measurement.

    Patience! Weight loss is a slow process (if one wants to preserve health, strength, and vitality while doing it, anyway). Over an extended time, those tiny changes day to day end up being a big deal.

    If you get discouraged, go read some of the "Most Helpful Posts" in "Success Stories", and you'll see what folks achieve with persistence and patience. So worthwhile!

    Thank you all! I finally am seeing progress as my sodium levels decrease and my exercise and gym time increases. I just need to realize it takes time.
