So would someone like to enlighten me? I've been fairly active daily for the past few weeks. I generally do 30 minutes of yoga and/or strength training (or more, depending on how I feel) and 45 minutes of cardio. I also, of course, try to stay under or between my calorie goal of 1350-1450 calories daily. I only eat back my exercise calories if I'm truly hungry.
So today I took my measurements for the first time since I started getting active again (I was literally doing no more than sitting on the couch all day before this). Around my hips I seem to have lost about 2 inches, and I'm steadily losing weight as well, but I've gained an inch around my waist which is technically where I want to lose inches the most.
Could someone tell me why this might be?

    Hi,
    I just saw your post. If you find the answer - would you please tell me?

    Depending on how active your last core workout was, it could be water retention at the site - healing requires swelling and blood flow. Sodium. Bloating from any digestive irritants. You also could just not lose fat in that area. The muscle should be making it look -better- regardless of it's size. Did you take photos? :)
