im losing inches but not weight.

[Lao Tzu]

i'd be happy as fuck if i were you

losing inches and not droping in weight

it works for me

hell no. i was 302 in mid june, its why i started losing weight. When i was 302 i would break furniture all the time it was expensive and embarassing as hell. I want to do a cycle but if i gain 21 lbs or so then that would put me at 283, which is way to heavy IMO, i'll end up breaking shit again. I want to get down to 230 or so before i do anything to bulk.

Hey Nord, PM me what you are doing to lose the inches but not the weight. I'm interested in what it is you are doing to make this happen.

Thanks

im not doing anything special, its a fluke. Its happened before to me, i lost inches but not weight. but the weight started coming off eventually.

Plus i've lost 1/2" on my arms since last month so im not gaining any LBM.

I read an explanation for this phenomena somewhere, and the explanation was that when you lose fat the fat cell replaces it's contents temporarily with water. Apparently the fat cell expects the stored energy to be replaced rather quickly. The water temporarily stored has less volume, hence the size loss. Weight loss will follow when the fat cells don't get the expected replacement.
I will try to remember the source of that information and post the link.

maybe its your posture, or fullness of your stomach? are you measuring at the same time during the day?
