As long as you see a downward trend in numbers, you're doing fine. Don't get too wrapped up in the bf %.

I agree; how you look and how you measure are great indicators. Especially if you're doing the workouts as challenging as you can; you'll definitely be building muscle, which "takes up less space under your skin" as Lou says, so you should be losing size while the scale weight stays the same. I gained 20+ pounds with lifting, and wear the same size jeans; I just look a hell of a lot better!
