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?

    I gain weight when I’m pushing hard climbing, but have to tighten some belts a notch more. It’s muscle gains and fat burns.

    My last project push I went down from 32 to 31 pant size but had gained 8kg. Fittest I’ve been in my life and sent my climbing project :)
