can you loose inches but not lbs?

  • My scale seems to be stuck over the past week and 1/2. Do you generally loose lbs and inches at the same time. Or does the lbs loss stop..then you loose inches..then you start loosing lbs again? Does this make any sense?
  • I don't konw any of the science behind it, but I've been stuck for several weeks, but I know that I'm losing inches because my "suck your gut in" jeans are now loose on me.

    Hang in there!
  • That has happened to me many times My weight pretty much stayed the same for almost a month but inches came off big time! As long as something's showing improvement, don't sweat it. The scale finally started moving at a good pace again after a while.
  • If you are exercising you are probably gaining muscle at the same time as loosing fat. Pound for pound muscle takes up less space than fat.
