Why am I losing weight but looking bigger?
Lack of exercise may make you lose weight but look fatter because if you restrict your caloric intake, and don’t work your muscles, you will start to lose muscle mass. In such a case the result on your scale will show you not only how much fat you have burned, but also how much muscle mass you have lost.
Why am I gaining weight but I still look the same?
1. You have gained muscle mass. Since dense muscle tissue takes up less space than fat, it’s possible you may weigh the same (or even more) yet appear slimmer than another person with the same weight, a similar height and frame because of the difference in your body composition.”
How did I gain weight but my clothes are looser?
As you work out, you are building lean muscle which weighs exactly the same as fat but is leaner. if your clothes are looser but the scale is the same, this is because of the lean muscle you have built.
Are my clothes shrinking or am I getting fat?
Don’t worry! It’s not that you’re getting fat (although you never know). A more likely explanation is that your clothes are deceptively shrinking to remind you that a diet might not be such a bad idea. It all basically stems from the kind of fibers your clothes have.
Why am I not losing weight but my clothes are looser?
This is why you might notice that sometimes you’re not losing weight but clothes are looser. Inches also tend to be a direct measure of fat loss, which may result as a change in your body composition. So while the pounds on the scale may go up and down, inches can be a reflection of a better body composition.
Why do my clothes feel looser when I’m lighter?
This is why your clothes could feel a lot looser even when the scales haven’t changed that much. You are a fair bit smaller than you were without being that much lighter. Your shape and body fat levels have changed far more than the scales are showing you.
Why do my clothes feel tight when I weigh myself?
You clothes may feel quite tight but when you get on the scales it hasn’t actually gone up as much as you thought it might have. But of course in this case you have probably lost a fair bit of the muscle mass you had built up so the scales aren’t showing the full story.
Why am I losing inches but not weight?
If you’re working out and you notice that you’re losing inches but not pounds – this is a good thing! Losing fat but not weight means that your body composition is changing and you’re replacing “bad” white fat with lean muscle, which can weigh more.
