Scale goes down..how about inches?

[nectar]

On plan to lose those darn last ten...they come and kinda go...must go for good this time with my new mindset of P3 and P4..thanks to the advice of this group. My question...the scale is going down around .7 pounds per day...I know the inches catch up later. What has has been everyone's experience in "when" that might start....currently on day 5 VLCD..thank you!

From my experience...the lbs. drop quickly the first week, mainly water weight...then they trickle down slowly, some days are 0 losses...very rarely a .2 or .4 gain may occur. BUT...I lose the MOST inches when I am NOT losing on the scale. Then I start losing lbs. again, then stabilize for a few days, then lose inches...repeat. I'm not a constant everyday loser.

You probably have a few days more of losses, then you should start to see inches lost. But remember you are pretty low in weight already, so it isn't as apparent in the mirror. Your clothes will be your best guide.
