I have been working a very labor intensive job for about 3 months now and have lost enough inches on my waist to go down two pants sizes yet my total weight when I go on the scale remains around the same. How is it possible that I lost 4 or 5 inches off my waist yet the scale doesn’t change? Is it possible what weight in fat I am loosing is made up for with an increase in muscle mass?
Definitely one of those cases where it’s better to look in the mirror instead of worrying about the number on the scale.
Muscle is over two times denser than fat, so if you gain enough, you might actually weigh more instead of less some day. But you’ll be stronger for it.
