Our First week ...

[saab]

I have an update to give . we(me and hubby ) both have lost some weight , hubby is losing in pounds I am losing in inches . I have lost 2 inches of my waist and hubby has lost 10 pounds. My weight is the same have just lost 2 pounds, so I am wondering if I am losing in inches why isn’t the weight coming down . I am happy to be losing in inches as I can actually see the difference.

Yes.

When you lose inches, there is a good chance that you lost 2 pounds, because of muscle gain. Muscle is denser than fat, so weight isn't as big an issue, because looking great and feeling great are the most important parts of this WOE. Make sure that you don't get obsessed with the scale. We don't want to see you disappoint yourself, because that number may not go down for weeks at a time, and then, *poof* You're a size 00 (yes, I know, I wish I was a 00 also, and yes, I know I'm a guy and it isn't possible)

Stick with it, and you'll get where you're going. It may not be the fastest process, but the important thing is that you get there.

Congrats on the 2 inches and your hubby's 10 pounds, that is so great! Everything counts, you're still shrinking, so you're doing a great job.

yep nobody is going to see the smaller scale numbers but they will notice the missing inches of you when you walk in a room.
