Bye Bye Inches

[2Pups]

This may be a crazy question! I am a member of Slimming World and would love to know, how it is that I am loosing inches where as, the poundse are very slow.

[ummmm]

Are you exercising?

[Rockrose]

It’s normal

[tiggerblue10]

You may be burning fat but gaining muscle.

[mallyh]

if you are exercising muscle weighs heavier so you lose inches but not weight x

[shoota]

Exchanging fat for muscle.
Worked my bits off in the gym, got legs like a prop forward and put weight on....

[Rockrose]

Muscle does not weigh more than fat a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat

[2Pups]

Thank you all but I forgot to say that I am disabled and unable to exercise. Th

That's what's known as a non-scale victory. Enjoy it, 2pups. Your body is recompositioning itself.

How can a question,be the Best Answer?....LOL

That is true, rockrose, but a pound of muscle is far smaller in dimensions than a pound of fat.

[Rockrose]

If you said it was denser then that would be true but a pound of something cannot weigh more than a pound of something else!!
For example a pound of feathers weigh the same as a pound of apple

[hc4361]

Yes, but the bag of feathers would be much bigger than the bag of apples.
