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?
You can even shrink your waist and gain weight at the same time as many said, since muscle is heavier.
Also water retention plays a role, depending on what you eat and how much water you drink. It’s normal to oscillate around a kilo that is just water.
