Losing cms, but not weight!

Bitukas

Hello everyone!

I think its time for me to reach out and get some advice- I am 166cm and weigh 88kg, the scale tells me I am 42% body fat . I started following a diet plan ( 1750 calories weekdays, 2250 weekends) + 4 sessions of strength training folllowed by 1 session of cardio a week + minimum 10,000 steps. I made sure to follow the plan and I am weighing my food, adding everything to calorie counter too.



My issue is that i havent lost a single kg or any % in body fat so far- been following the plan for 5 weeks now. I have, however, lost 30cm in measurements from different parts of my body ( waist shrank by 5cm, hips by 6cm etc) so something is happening but why is there nothing reflected in the weight or my body fat percentage on the scale?

Any ideas? It is a little demotivating Sad
