Congrats on the weight loss everyone. 
V-I agree. I shed over 60 pounds of fat, have built lean muscle and am back in a size 6 (have been for almost a year now). BUT, I weigh slightly more than I did at my lowest point in weight loss, but I am leaner, due to lean muscle build up. Hopefully I made some sense.
Main point, the scale is not always the best indicator. It is a wonderful guide though.
