first of all, congratulations! i'm a newbie here and what you achieved seems lika a dream to me

the fact that you lost more inches then actual weight is actually a great thing - it means you lost fat, which is much lighter then muscle, and that is the healthiest way to lose weight.

way to go!

Be proud that you look slimmer. I have now lost 28 1/2 pounds and I am looking smaller. I don't feel slimmer, but I know that I am because my body is smaller than it was.

on the weight loss that is great work. Some times our bodies work in mysterious ways you may have lost only 15lbs as you put it but I bet you have lost plenty of inches.

I often find if the scales are slow in moving the inches are swiftly going which can make you look like you have lost heaps more. I had recently lost 8lbs and people were really convinced that I had misread the scales and lost more. Though I did explain to them that in recent months I had lost nigh on 3" on my waist alone. So my advice is take your body measurements with a tape measure and I think you will be pleasantly suprised how much you are losing in that area as well as the pounds.

That's wonderful! I wouldn't mind the actual pounds if I could lose the inches!

Congrats!

And to answer your question, I lost 20 pounds and went from a size 6 to a size 1, so I lost more inches than actual pounds, which is BETTER! Sometimes the scale is not the best to judge your progress.
