    Oh yes! Most people lose inches before they notice the scale moving. I suggest taking your measurements now and recording them every 2 weeks... you'll definately see a difference there! I wish I had done that... still might.

    As fat get burned and muscle builds the scale may stay the same at 1st but you lose inches. After a while things will change and the muscle building slow and the fat burning continues. You're doing great. keep it going.
