Now that you're feeling better I'll tell you this: women usually lose weight in their breasts first. It comes off in the opposite order it goes on so. It's SO unfair.
Also, I've read a couple articles recently that said the only way to lose weight is through diet. Yes, exercise is important for health reasons and because muscle burns fat, but it won't directly move the scale. Muscle does weigh more than fat but, as you noticed with your vest, it is more compact so you can lose inches without actually losing any weight.
I'm struggling with the same issue. I'm working out now but still eating crap so I'm not any closer to my goal weight. I'll be able to get a handle on the eating in the next couple months.
If you love somebody, set them free. http://tinyurl.com/2empx2g
