in Health and Weight Loss
OCD and I need to know.
The scale has been stuck going up and down for the past few weeks. No real gains, except initially, because the scale will go up again. So I started doing measurements and inches are disappearing, even lost half an inch in my boobs which has my husband panicked. So if the inches are decreasing, but the weight isnt.......then where is it all going??? I am hoping to my butt which is flatter than a board!

    It could be possible you are losing fat and gaining muscle. Boobs are mostly fat (the best place for fat in the world, I should say), and if you are losing inches, and not gaining weight, you must be gaining muscle mass.

    To check if it is your butt, just measure it.

    Unlikely.

    More like losing fat but it's masked by water weight

    Muscle is extremely difficult to gain and takes a while (especially for women), so I agree with @RoxieDawn and @TavistockToad that it's unlikely muscle gain and is water weight caused by either sodium, TOM or starting new exercise.
