I have been working out for 2 weeks and the scale says nothing, but my clothes are fitting better, is it possible that i can be losing inches and not weight right now.

Yeah, sounds like some fat is being worked off, but you're increasing your muscle mass. Keep at it, and you'll eventually start to lose pounds, too.
Good luck!

Yes. A pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat, so if you are burning fat and building muscle you could stay the same weight while actually getting smaller.

Its very possible! Your body may be burning fat and creating muscle, which causes the scale to look the same but the clothes to fit better :). You, also, may be at a plateau (but this early i doubt it). But if this is the case, try upping your daily cardio.
I hope this helps!

Yes this is because you have gained muscle and lost fat which is more dense than fat and gives you a slimmer appearance. Another good thing is that now your metabolism will be faster and with more muscle you will burn more calories even when resting.
