    Now I'm no expert but I know enough...
    Muscle weighs more than fat due to it being more dense; simple as that. If you're losing fat and putting on muscle, you won't be losing any weight on the scales but you'll look visibly smaller, and as you say, will be losing inches.
    Which is heavier? A pound of muscle or a pound of fat? I think a pound is a pound. Muscle is denser than fat and takes up less space. So if you lose 2lbs of fat, but replaced it with 2lb of muscle, than the scale wont show any changes, but the tape measure will. :flowerforyou:
