Lose pounds and inches
Is it possible to lose inches from waist without losing pounds?
I have been on the Visalus shakes (meal replacement) for 3 weeks and have only lost 1 pound! I am having two shakes a day, one in the morning, one in afternoon, and a small dinner. Is it possible to lose some from my waist and not in pounds? My pants feel a little looser but not showing up on the scales!

- oh most deff! i always recommend people who are going on diets to buy a tape measure sooner than a scale. when you lose weight, particularly when you have a more active diet, fat is burned and replaced by muscle. so where as you are losing 5lbs and replacing it with muscle, all the scale will see is not change in weight, or weight gain (which can happen). you will deff lose inches before you see a significant amount of pounds disappear. x
- Hi, Jenni. Muscle weighs more than fat, but muscle is also leaner and more compact than fat. You might have lost fat and put on muscle.
