I GUESS I DID IT?

I am in the same boat ( I lost 0.5 inch over all this month) My weight has not budged.

Personally if I could get my waist to 25 inches and lower my bf to 18 % I would be happy if I did not lose a pound.

what people often try to convey but often confuse is the reality of varying densities.

Fat is less dense than muscle. It takes up more volume. Muscle is more dense (takes up less volume).

A pound is a measure of weight and is constant.

Great job OP!! You are doing really good work.

Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat, I think. A pound is a pound.

Excellent! By this logic granite doesn't weigh more then feathers... I hate it when people say that.

^^ This is what I always think of when I hear that a pound is a pound.

Since the OP said her weight was the same but was wearing smaller clothes I think the inference that 'weighs more' relates to volume is quite clear - the OP's volume shrunk. If I talk able 8 oz of water verses 8 oz of chicken nobody seems to question whether I am talking about volume or weight.

Yep, me too! I think when a person says muscle weighs more than fat, it's implied that you're comparing like size to like size, not pound to pound.
