Losing Inches not Pounds?! HELP

One - there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with losing inches and not pounds - anyone can see the size of your jeans, no one knows the number on your scale...

Two - why on earth are you doing so much cardio - cut it down to 30 mins a day and throw some strength training in 3-4 days a week - you are canabalizing your lean muscle mass.....

And three - why are you starving yourself with so little calories ?? It will not be pretty in the long run...

Eat more, fill up on protein, and cut down on cardio and add strength...
And I would personally take losing inches over pounds anyday!

Agreed, eat back your exercise calories, and don't go crazy with cardio. It's not sustainable, i mean unless you want to do 90 minutes of the elliptical everyday for the rest of your life? & strength training will help a lot. You may not budge the scale with it, but you will look more fit, toned, your inches will fall off and honestly, inches are so much nicer than lbs to lose anyways so why are you worried?

Yes, I think you should eat more. I lose steadily if I maintain 1500 calories and I'm WAY less active than you. I'm also 5'0 and about 155 pounds.

do you think that if I eat more, I will lose more?

DITTO!!!
I weigh WAY more than I used to and am a LOT smaller. I've decided on a "size" goal, not a "weight" goal--that's all that really counts, right?

If you keep eating 1310 calories a day you will lose weight no matter what you do. Sometimes you'll hit a plateau and your body will retain water and food for a bit but it will continue to burn fat.
The weight will fall, just be patient and keep at it.
Now if you are eating 1310 calories a day and drinking a bunch of diet soda and diet foods and counting them as 0 calories you're going to have problems.

Whats the help for? You sound like you are doing fabulous. The same thing is going on with me. I am happy to be losing something.

Your density is increasing without a change in mass. You are collapsing on yourself. I suggest you consult an astrologist or physicist at this point to advise you further.

LOL!

omg yes..

Cut your cardio in half and add strength. Cannot stress the importance of building lean muscle and up your calories even if you have a 2-300 cal protien shake after a work out. If you do the same cardio routine day in day out your body gets used to it so maybe try a prog like insanity or turbo fire that's both cardio and weights but switches up daily.

I would far rather lose inches then lb's!!!

Sounds identical to how my journey has been going. I cut my cardio to 2 hours a week total, added in lifting HEAVY doing stronglifts 5x5 3 days a week, and increased my intake by about 700 cals to approximately TDEE-20% and changed my macros to 40% carb, 30% protein, and 30% fat. Doing that made me drop another 10 in a month. Added bonus of eating more is that you are less grumpy because you're less hungry all the time!

As for the not stressing about the scale number and being happy about the inches lost, I am in the same boat, but then I also can't see the 9 inches I've lost off my waist at all which is making it worse. I have learned tho that as much as it hurts seeing the scale still say scary numbers, it's really nice to see smaller pants sizes. I like the idea suggested by another response to have a goal size, not a goal weight. That's something that I could see being a positive thought process change!

Whatever decision you make when it comes to intake and exercise, I wish you luck. It always is hard when you don't see the scale move when you are working so hard.

D=M/V I don't see how your statement makes logical sense.

Her volume is decreasing. Quick example. If she went from M=3, V=3, then D=1. She lost inches (volume) so M=3, V=2, then D=1.5

Except physiologically speaking it's impossible for the body to sustain the same LBM at a lower weight, so mass has to change.

No one said the weight changed. Only volume.
