How would you feel if....
Your weight hasn't budged, but your body fat percentage went down a few notches?
We have one of those scales that measure both, and I still really haven't lost the last 10 lbs from pregnancy, but my fat percentage went down significantly!!!!
Yes, things are fitting, but there is one pr of jeans that is not - and those are my favorite jeans and are obviously my goal jeans. I feel until they fit, I won't be happy....

Honestly, if I was you I would feel - AWESOME!! I think after pregnancy it wouldn't be fair to say your body will be exactly the same - even if all the stats are the same. Your body went through a major change and I would be ECSTATIC to have lost that much % boday fat 
Your doing great Liza!!! Keep up the awesome work

Re: How would you feel if....
To be fitting into everything except one pair of jeans would be fine with me! especially since you got your body fat % down, that is great!
you should be so proud of yourself!
I'm  that I can get my body back to at least pre-wedding weight after I have my

Re: How would you feel if....
I totally know where you are coming from. It's hard to work and not see the number on the scale come down.
BUT lowering your body fat percentage is awesome! You should be really proud of yourself. It means that you are doing something right.
Have you been working out more lately? Muscle weighs more than fat, so it's possible you are losing inches (which is why your jeans are fitting!) but the scale isn't changing because you're building muscle at the same time you're losing fat. Whenever I start working out more, the scale stays the same for a few weeks and then all of a sudden the weight drops.
Hang in there, it sounds like you are doing great!

Re: How would you feel if....
Forget about the jeans. The body fat percentage that you dropped, reduces your risk for heart disease, cancer, high cholesterol, etc...
That is much more of an achievement than fitting into a pair of pants.
(i understand the pants thing, though!)
A guy at my job said, "why can't you be happy with your body, and strive to be healthy."
That was the smartest thing that i have heard a man say in a long time!
