I'm halfway to my weight goal, & NOT AN INCH GONE!

I agree. I never lost inches until I started lifting heavy weights. In the span of 1 year, I only lost 8 lbs - but dropped 4 clothing sizes. And that was without changing my diet at all.

Stop doing pure cardio and pick some heavy stuff up!

It really takes a year for the body to adjust to weight loss (per the doctors). I have been on maintenance for 11 months and my body is still changing. I have looked in the mirror in the morning and I have seen a major change.

DO NOT give up! You are doing great and you are building muscle.

You definitely need to do weight training. It should definitely help inches. As for the relationship between them, there is not always one to speak of. Just depends on each person individually and what they are doing.

you need weight lifting:)

Maybe the fat packed around your organs is reduced.

"Maybe the fat packed around your organs is reduced. "

Quite possible! I read somewhere quite awhile ago that often people who were starting to lose their visceral fat(the fat packed around organs, NOT the fat right under the skin that we notice as extra stuff we don't want)wouldn't necessarily notice changes on the outside, until they started losing the other fat. But I agree that solid weight training along with cardio definitely helps in the body re-composition department. 3x a week should do it for the lifting, and make sure most of the exercises you do are compound, as in using large muscle groups, like squats, lunges, push-ups(whatever way you can do them, even if it's just a very few when you start), assisted tricep dips, etc. followed by just a few exercises that isolate smaller muscle groups, like curls and extensions. The compound exercises do give one a bigger bang for the buck, a lot of work being done in a shorter amount of time, and done correctly, burn a good amount of calories in a couple of ways. Not so much DURING the exercise, like cardio, but more afterward. This will increase as muscle is slowly added to your body. Just in the repair process from a really solid workout, one's body is burning energy. Keep your diet as clean as possible, and change up your cardio routines too. It's really easy for one's body to get accustomed to certain cardio activities and become more efficient, thus burning fewer calories.
Also, it DOES really take time - very few people can "totally transform their body in 6 weeks" or even 3 months for that matter unless they're under some sort of supervision(very watchful personal trainer who kicks one's butt), or don't have all that much to lose in the first place and they happen to respond quickly to the new stimuli and diet. Age makes a difference too. For women this is particularly true, as hormonal status can really throw a big wrench into the gears of losing fat. Then one really does have to be more strict with what one is doing. Hope this helps at all, and don't give up training or keeping a hawk eye on your diet. Just rethink what you're doing and change things up. Different training program, and maybe switching up your diet macros - that might be sufficient to get things moving in a visible direction. You've done a lot already and there might be improvements you don't see yet. Your blood work might be better, for one thing. Best of luck!

I've prolly gained an inch or so...............ba dum chhh

is it possible that you did not measure quite right when you did your first measurements? I had an issue like that. When I did my first measurements I pulled the measuring tape very snug--to the point where there was distortion of my flubber--so even after like 15 pounds, my measurements "haven't changed". In reality, they HAVE changed, but now I am measuring the correct way with no distortion.
