my stomach has really gone down. but when i measured my thighs after losing 5.2 lbs i haven't lost inches there!! WHY?? Also, the previous time i measured they were .3 inches smaller. Why did they enlarge?

2. You must have measured in a different place, also... you may just be losing water weight for the first 5-10 pounds you lose. The reason your waist has shrunk is because you're probably eating less and this makes your stomach smaller. Another possibility is that you lose/gain weight in certain areas first. I always gain on my thighs, but not on my stomach until I gain A LOT. I hope I helped :)
