I have been working a very labor intensive job for about 3 months now and have lost enough inches on my waist to go down two pants sizes yet my total weight when I go on the scale remains around the same. How is it possible that I lost 4 or 5 inches off my waist yet the scale doesn’t change? Is it possible what weight in fat I am loosing is made up for with an increase in muscle mass?

    Those scales are generally precise, but they aren’t very accurate. Good if you are consistently using them and using the numbers as a reference to progress, but I wouldn’t going around saying the number is a true representation of your body fat.
