what’s your workout routine? body condition? If you’re “skinny fat”, then you have to follow a different routine. But generally, before doing cardio, do core strength exercises like squats, leg raises, lunges, push ups

Look out for carb calories, we simply don’t need as much carbs as we typically eat, and excess carbs translate straight to weight.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe you weigh what you’re supposed to weigh?

Take a look at “this”:http://www.healthnotdiets.com for another perspective.

It’s possible you’re losing fat, but gaining muscle. That’s a good thing. Muscle always weighs more than fat, so the important thing is you’re gaining in health. Do your clothes fit differently?

Please keep in mind, that muscle weighs more than fat. If you are strength training, which is great, you will build muscle, whilst losing fat. So. You may be losing the lighter fat, and building the heavier, more dense, muscle. “Weight” loss, is not the only way to gauge success in fitness.

Don’t get discouraged. Keep it up!

You probably could benefit from nutrition counseling.

As an aside, muscle does NOT weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound is a pound. Muscle does take up less volume than fat, so a pound of fat might be 90 cubic inches and a pound of muscle might be 60 cubic inches. They both weigh the same but the muscle is smaller in volume than the fat. So yes, you can gain muscle, and shrink your fat cells. (They never leave, unless you have them surgically removed. Even then, there is some evidence that they will return.) The gained muscle takes up less volume; therefore, you look slimmer.

The cubic inch sizes are not the real sizes of a pound of muscle and a pound of fat. It was to give an example of measuring volume vs. weight.

@tedibear . I thought you knew what I meant. Next time, I’ll be more clear, and articulate.

@snowberry – thank you! I didn’t know the difference was that great!
