let's talk about inch's loss

CristinaCalifri

I have a question. I am 107.6lbs. I have no problem with my scale weight. So I was thinking of eating at maintence. But if I eat at maintence and keep working out will I loose inch's? Because I could stand to loose some inch's

Lifting weights is going to be what changes your body...so if that's what you mean by exercising, then yes Don't focus on the number, and focus on how you look/feel.

That's what I meant! Thank you

What you are referring to is a recomp. Essentially you will lose body fat with minimal weight loss... potentially even see minor muscle mass increases.

Wait, so who is inch? And dare I ask how he got that name?

But in answer to your question, it sounds like you're describing a recomp and that's definitely one option if you don't want to do bulk and cut cycles. And psu beat me to it.

I guess I want to recomp then? I just want to look leaner. I'm 5'2 and 107.6lbs I'm not looking to loose anymore weight. Just tighten up and lean out

yea, eat at maintenance, aim to get .8-1g of protein per lb of lean body mass, lift heavy and once you hit a low body fat %, if you still are unhappy, consider a bulk to add mass. More muscle = leaner body, like below.
