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?
If you look at this comment, the comparison should more realistically look like this![an equal amount of fat and muscle next to each other, the fat looks slightly bigger than the muscle](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f00ebf_9a496decc14746cfb326001355a75b2e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_640,h_640,al_c,q_85/f00ebf_9a496decc14746cfb326001355a75b2e~mv2.jpg)
