weight loss and losing inches?

Question

I weighed myself this morning as I do every Friday morning and I have gained 2lbs :( I also measure myself every Friday morning as well and I have lost 2 inches from waist, 3 inches under bust and 1 inch over bust. Is this not a lot to have lost inches wise in like a week?? I measure myself a couple of times to make sure I have got it correct each time so I know that it is correct/

yeah I have been working out at the gym but only recently started, been doing some resistance and also been doing at least 40 mins cardio 5 time per week.

Answer 1

Your WEIGHT, how much BODYFAT you have, your SIZE and your SHAPE, are all separate issues and you can change any of them without affecting the others.

As you have noticed, two of them can change in opposite directions at the same time.

Unfortunately, the 'accepted wisdom' (and a lot of health education) uses these terms more or less interchangeably.

Your weight is NOT a reliable indicator of how fat you are; measurement is better, but it is still not reliable (measurements change most quickly in response to changes in muscle tone; fat can only be gained or lost VERY slowly).

Your Waist is one place where these muscular changes are particularly evident. Your internal organs are soft, and are held in place by layers of overlapping muscle. If your abdominal & other 'core' muscles are all contracting more strongly, then your waist will 'pinch in' more.

Resting muscle tone responds strongly to mood. Anxiety or other excitement can raise the contraction rate in all of your muscles. If this happens, your waist will usually be slimmer. BUT it will also make you pull the tape tighter (without being aware of it).
