Losing inches but not pounds. Need to lose actual pounds to make weight. Help?!
Question: Losing inches but not pounds!. Need to lose actual pounds to make weight!. Help!?
I started working out on the 12th of last month!. I didn't want to get depressed looking at numbers, so I decided I would weigh and measure myself on the 12th of each month!. Today's the day- I lost 9 inches, but lost less than 1 pound!.
While I feel good about the inches, it is still disappointing to see that I have lost !.75 of a pound-basically nothing!. I have been eating healthier as well, and really expected to see some pounds dropped- not 10 or anything, but maybe 4!.
I realize that I have probably lost fat and gained muscle!. But am I going to get to a point to where I lose actual pounds!? I need to lose 10 lbs within the next few months, as I have to pass a physical!.
I just don't know what to do next!. I am going to continue my workout routine, and tough it up a bit!. And continue to eat better!. Will I see results!? I am slightly discouraged and need some encouragement that I will continue to lose inches and also lose pounds!.
Thanks for any help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
