]Actually no, you don't lose the IPs when using VLSM.

Sure you do... you lose the broadcast address for each subnet.
If you have a class B (/16), you lose address ???.???.255.255/16
as a broadcast address.  If you break that class B into
255 class C's (/24), you lose a broadcast address for each subnet...
in other words, 255 of them.  The same is true for VLSM's.
