No weight lost or inches lost...but

tracysway

my pants seem way too big. i am a bit confused. How is this possible.

Because weight is a horrible way to measure progress.

Most people say they want to "lose weight" but what they mean is they want to "lose fat"

You didnt post much, but im going to assume to lose the 36 pounds in your sig, you went from a somewhat sedentary lifestyle to working out?

You probably gained some muscle (a very good thing) or ate something(like sodium) that made you retain more water (water is heavy) before you weighted yourself.

so even though you're losing fat, and your pants are looser, your weight seemed to stay the same.

If you haven't lost any inches but your pants seem too big, one of two things is probably going on, either you (1) measured incorrectly, or (2) your pants stretched. The later happens a lot, especially with jeans or cotton pants.
