body changes vs weight loss

Am I the only one that can go thru periods where my scale doesn't move, or barely moves, yet my body shape changes? My legs have been changing lately. It's weird. Sometimes I see change on an almost daily basis, even if I've lost no weight. At other times, my scale goes down, but I don't notice bodily size changes.

Hmm, that's interesting. So far I've only lost on the scale, but I have not noticed any change in my body yet! I was just thinking today, how can all my clothes fit the same (ok, there is one pair of shorts I can wear that I could not before) when I've lost almost 40 pounds?? Not that I want to quit losing, but I'm prepared for my first plateau and I sure hope I can at least see some change during that time! jacie

LC, I've been on a big stall weight loss wise for the past 3 months, well I should say that I've managed to take off 5 lbs in the past 3 weeks since I joined weigh****chers. But, my point is, that I've dropped a full size in clothes. I'm actually wearing size 16 which is hard for me to believe. But, the scale seemed welded to the same weight for so long! So, you can shape up and not weigh less...weird, huh? Lori

I have gone through periods when I was going through that stage. I had been on a plateau for a while now the scale is moving. Body changes were good. I can get into a 20 bottom now and I can wear some 14/16 tops. I had been in a 24 it seems like forever. The body changes were evident my neck has gotten smaller, so have my arms and legs. Kwheen
