Your replacing fat with muscle and muscle weighs more than fat, so you're losing more inches than the numbers indicate due to lower mass of muscle per pound. keep it up. WTG! ;o)

MMuscle weighs more than fat because it is more compact. You have lost a lot of fat due to the dieting and gained some muscle due to the exercising.
Your doing a great job! Keep it up.

Different densities: FAT lighter than water - Muscle (lean) heavier than water: Some maynot actually always loose wieght; mearurements may change a lot but weight? So, depends upon change in ratio of lean body mass to that that isn't...

Lady Linda is right, you are doing something right by losing inches. Keep it up. Balance your exercise, do variety, eat a variety of meals and snacks and watch your portions. You are on the road to great success and long term weight management!

Does it really matter what the scale says when the mirror's saying "You're HOTT babe."?
You've built some muscle, which weighs more than fat, so even though you've burned off some fat it's been replaced with denser muscle.

Muscle is heavier than fat. So you are taking off inches, and putting on weight. Keep up with the effort.

Your body is burning fat and building muscle. Muscle is denser and more compact than fat, so it's entirely normal to see little to no weight loss and still lose inches. Nice going!

You've been exercising! That drops the inches faster than you drop the pounds.
Congratulations... enjoy your new wardrobe and keep up the good work.

I know, I am a distributor for a great product and they taught me that you will lose inches faster then weight. I guess inches just stick out and don't weigh anything. If you would like to lose weight faster visit this web site www.Lose-itnow.net It is great and healthy. Be safe when you do any kind of nutrition, you do not want to hurt your body!!!

yay your hard work is working, to start with the muscle builds so you weigh more but eventually the muscle gain will even /taper out and the muscle you have built will help you burn calories even while resting, so you will become even slimmer.
