3. The question is have you lost any inches over pounds?

You could be losing visceral fat which is a good thing.

Years ago, I dropped 55 lbs. I was stuck at the same weight for about 3 months and frustrated.

A co-worker asked, "Niagara, are you still losing weight?"

I said, "Nooooo, I've been stuck!"

She looked at me funny after i told her no and that I was stuck.

When I unbuttoned my pants later that night, they literally fell off of me! I was too busy being frustrated by reading the scales that I hadn't noticed how loose all my pants had become.
