  • You’re probably losing fat but retaining more water. Pretty common. It happened to me throughout my fat loss phase. That could be why your face looks thinner but the scale isn’t moving.

Stress can also cause your body to hold on to fat. Try to normalize your water intake-drink roughly the same amount per day and try…
  • Hi, Here is one thing you can do to stretch your hips. Kneel down on the floor with one knee touching the ground and your opposite foot flat on the floor in front of you. (Take a knee).
