Why am I losing more inches than I am pounds (not a complaint, just an observation)

Last month (3 mos. post-op) I lost 6 pounds but 10 inches. This month I'm down about 10 pounds, but I lost 13 inches. I'm not complaining, but I wonder if this is healthy, odd or normal? I'm not trying to compare myself (*oh, who am I kidding) but I see women who have lost more lbs than I have, but I am "thinner" than they are. So, what is happening to me? --Jen, rny 11/11/02 down 4 1/2 feet of fat :)
