Losing Inches?? Here's the story: I was at 105 pounds with 32 inches. Now I'm at 130.5 pounds with 35 inches. I want to lose the weight I gained, and be at the same 32 inches I was last time. I was riding my bike for about an hour each day, and doing 30 sit ups after every meal. Unfortunately, I won't have time for bike riding, because I'm going to be incredibly busy this summer. If I lose weight, and do the sit ups, will I be at 32 inches?? Right now, I'm not losing weight(trying to...not working out), and doing sit ups. It looks to me like my stomach area is getting bigger...what the heck??! Also, I have the "thunder thigh" thing goin' on. And I hate it.

I've noticed my legs are a big less jiggly, but I don't want them to be big. I want them to be thin and not jiggly...it really bothers me...How can I solve this problem?? I'm 5' 1 & 3/4" I don't eat fast food, fried foods, I rarely eat candy, I don't drink soda or coffee...I eat quite healthy

Losing Weight, NOT JUST INCHES? I'm thinking I'm not doing something right. I walk 1-5 miles a day (depending upon day), go to the gym 3x/wk and do treadmill, bike 1-3 miles at a very fast pace, and then swim a mile/56 lenghts. I even walked a 26.2 mile marrathon in September without issue. Here's the thing: I am NOT losing weight!!! I've lost inches, and my cholestorol levels have gone down 30 points (it's very high). I need the encouragement of looking at the scale and seeing the #s go down. My routine is to do 46 gms protein shake 6 a.m., omelett around 11:30, snack at 1pm, dinner around 5:30 (varies) and snack around 8pm (peanuts/fruit/nofat pudding). My BMI is still around 38 and I don't know what else to do! Any suggestions? thank you for your responses. The BMI # I got while filling in internet questions to 'buy my diet' websites. I used to be at a healthy weight, but then had 5 jaw surgeries (yes with jaws wired) over the last 3 years. The liquid dieting caused my system to be screwed up and I wound up gaining 60lbs once I could eat food. Here's the thing - I am for the most part vegetarian I'll eat chicken, eggs, and some white fish. The doctor said it's because my Cortisol levels were high and things would level out after my body stopped hording thinking I was starving myself... that was 8 mos ago. This weight is depressing. I know I'm getting healthier, and I enjoy working out as much as I do, it's just seems to be taking forever for results. I've been doing the additional workouts since January (the 3xs/wk ones)

I know that my diet may seem unhealthy to all of you but i just want to know if i will continue to get rid of some more...

losing inches....in legs? what are some good ways to lose weight/inches in my legs?

Losing inches, not pounds? Ever since I had 2 weeks break from dance over the summer I gained 10 pounds, but now that it has started up again all my jeans are too big. When I step on the scale though I weigh the same (112) as I did right after the 2 weeks of no dancing. Why have I lost inches but not pounds?By the way it's not because of muscle because I have the same strength as I ever had.
