Why am I losing slowly as far as weight, but extremely fast in inches?

Hi guys, I had surgery 10/01/02 and have lost exactly 65 lbs as of today. I started at 294, and today i'm 229. My weight loss pace is not exactly fast, but not slow either so I guess I'm average. However, I feel like I'm losing inches much faster than others. Did anyone else have this? I started off in an 18/20 top and 24 or 26 bottoms and I currently can wear a Medium, Large, or Xlarge in the juniors department for tops depending on the style and an 16 bottoms and a couple pairs of 14 pants have fit me as well. Most of the people I read here lose so much more weight than me, but not nearly as many dress sizes. Some of them started off at my before sizes but don't get to my current size until they're about a year post op. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining but it's just weird. Anyone else losing like me?
