as the title suggests, how can you looses inches around your waist etc but not looses weight - is this muscle from excercise?
just curious to be honest

I'm not sure mate, but it's a fact. A lot of the time we are replacing lost fat with water, I'm guessing water takes up less space than fat.

It definitely happens, I go for weeks with no loss, but then try on a pair of trousers that is then loose on me, odd but good at the same time LOL
