Ht. 5*9, Wt. *** - What is the differece between losing weight, and losing inches? My mom said losing inches is like when your muscles tighten and fat flattens or something like that cause it pulls it in or something..but i'm still confused..

Reply from Julie, Age 17 - 10/25/05 - IP#: 4.242.171.xxx Losing weight is just about what the scale says, making the numbers go down. Losing fat/inches is when you decrease the amount of fat your body has. You may be replacing it with muscle, so the numbers dont go down, since muscle weighs more than fat. A better goal would be for you to lose fat or inches than weight, because that's what's going to make you look better.
