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 think more importantly fat and muscle tend to distribute very differently. Muscle doesn’t build up much at the waistline, and for men that’s the first place fat gets deposited
