in Health and Weight Loss
Two months ago-ish, I started getting healthier and working out. I was 127ish, and my height is 5'2.
I started with 30 days shred, and I was eating 1200 calories (I was eating back my exercise calories). I took an hour walk every day, and added various exercise (30 mins ~ 1 hour).

Then, when I was done with 30 days shred, I started Ripped in 30. And shred with weights. Then I added, killer buns and thighs, and her kickboxing video. Plus, I still take an hour walk, and do some other exercise all day (and I'm often on my feet).
My daily calories intake is 1300, and I eat most of my exercise calories. (Sometimes, I'm just not hungry).

After all this, I lost like 10ish pounds, but... no inches. Not on my stomach, arms, thigh, calf... nothing. It's all the same. I mean, I took pictures of my stomach, and I see a difference (and I'm really harsh on myself, so for me to see it... it's there... I can always post them...). And yet, nothing. No inches difference. Not even half of half of an inch. Nothing.

I also take Peppermint oil capsules, vitamins and flax seed oil capsules.

I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong? Why would this happen? Is there something I should do that I'm not doing?

    127 to 117 is a good % change..

    I just wonder, if on your small body frame, that muscle has replaced fat, as far as inches.
    ie: your thigh might be the same circumfrence from 60 days ago, but its mostly muscle now & not fatty tissue?

    Sounds like a very intense work out schedule.

    Do you do any stretching/ palates type excersizes to lengthen the muscles? (not just make them stronger)?


    Note- take my words with a grain of salt. I'm VERY new here & I don't really work out at all yet. Just starting to try to get healthy.
    I realize you are wanting more advice from people who have been where you are now. i'm just thinking that the muscle is replacing fat as far as measurements are going.

    That is actually another thing that confuses me. I can FEEL muscles. It's not longer just fat, it feels like muscles. But I've measured every day, that's why I didn't think like the muscle would replace the fat.

    I tried to make an intense work out schedule to get results. Ahah, didn't quite work out now did it? ahah.

    I do. I stretch before and after each set of work out I do.

    No, not at all, thank you for your input. I really didn't think it might be muscles replacing fat. I mean, my body fat % did go down. Hence why I am even more confused!
