This is going to sound ridiculous, but I can't figure out where the fat is going.
I've been working out consistently doing cardio and sl5x5 since November. I've lost 17 lbs.
In the last couple of weeks my pants have been fitting better (I'm talking jeans straight out of the dryer being too loose) but the scale is going up (4-5 l s). Its shark week, so I expect a pound or two is from that, add that I've been eating gluten again and there's my other 3-4 lbs of water weight.
I assume that I'm still maintaining, then, at the actual same weight - which is above 200.
So where is the fat going? The fat mode on my scale still has the same percentage. My shirts fit the same. Its my waist and thighs that are loose on my jeans. At over 200lbs, it seems impossible that any sort of "recomp" would happen.
I can't believe I've gained any sort of muscle to compensate. I also know I shouldnt look a gift horse in the mouth. "Oh, my pants fot better, but I'm not losing weight wahhh!"
I just genuinely want to know, from ppl way smarter than me, what scientifically is going on.
Thanks for reading!
