    Muscle takes the place of fat -while 5 lbs of muscle weighs the same as 5 lbs of fat, it is denser/smaller. So the scale weight may not have changed but the looks of the body have changed.gc46cufxmnq3.jpg

    Yep, just like that! I lost no weight on the scale for four months, last year, but lost right at 5 inches off my waist! The measurements kept me going, and I'm glad they did!
