before my diet, i weighed 192 pounds. I now weigh 182 pounds. Around 185 pounds, my pants started fitting really loose. I was happy, because i knew this was a sign that i had lost weight. But now i'm at 182, and i feel just as fat as ever. I feel like my gut is as big as it ever was, and that i look fat. What's going on here? I'm not doing anything crazy, basically all i'm doing on this diet is eating less, using moderation, running occasionally(something i never did before), and not eating between meals...so why do i still feel fat?

losing scale weight does not mean that the body fat % is being reduced. for most the majority of the weight lost the first couple of weeks of dieting will be water. it takes around 3-4 weeks for most on a healthy balanced diet before the metabolism shifts and measurable fat loss occurs
start tracking your body fat % and forget what the scale reads
