Is it possible to lose inches ,and not lbs?

I lost 22 lbs in the last 2 months ,and now I haven't lost anything in a week ,but I feel like my clothes are still getting smaller is it possible?

Re: Is it possible to lose inches ,and not lbs?

Yes, have you been extra active too?


When you workout, you build muscle and muscle weighs more than fat but you can loose inches and be toned.
EX:
So my body who dosent work out could be in a 7/8
where someone my height/weight who works out could be in a 3/4.


so that means I need to start working out!

I am very active ( 3 kids ..running around) I also work 4-5 hrs ,and am always on my feet running around the whole time !

Thank you ! I get discouraged looking at the scale and not see'ing the numbers go down

Re: Is it possible to lose inches ,and not lbs?

Definitely!

Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat. Muscle, however, is denser than fat, meaning 1 lb of muscle takes up less space than 1 lb of fat therefore making you trimmer and more toned.

Re: Is it possible to lose inches ,and not lbs?

Absolutely especially if you are working out and are active

Re: Is it possible to lose inches ,and not lbs?

absolutely!!

muscle weighs more than fat so muscle adds pounds to the scale (or keeps the scale from moving) BUT it takes up less room in the body so you'll lose inches
