I'm sure this question has been posted before, but I seem not to be able to
find any answers to it.  I'm using Outlook Express to read these news
postings, and it only shows so many.  I googled this list to find more
answers, but with little success.  So, I'm going to outright ask.  I beg
your forgiveness if it's been discussed before.

Anyway, I've been low-carbing since 9/23/03.  I've lost 30 pounds (I'd have
lost more by now, but the holidays were not fair to me...).  However, I've
also been keeping tabs on my measurements.  Alas, they do not appear to be
changing.  I'm measuring my waist, chest, forearm, and thigh.  I'm making
sure that my measurements are taken from as close to the same location in
those areas as I can get.  But I'm still showing very small amounts of loss
in this area.  30 pounds, and no inches lost?  What's the deal, here?

I try not to add any extra salt to my diet.  I know that can cause extra
water retention, and I'm not exactly careful about what I eat that might
already have added salts.  Could this be the problem?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
