Losing pound or inches

[lauratherese]

I'm losing inches and not pounds , and I'm not sure why? I'm running 3 times a week so I guess I'm getting some muscle but that can't be why can it?

Are you counting calories? There's a brilliant free app and website called MyFitnessPal where you can log everything you eat, but make sure you don't eat the calories you burn through running as they're a bonus.

I agree with gingernut49, use the MyFitnessPal, it's great. Don't focus on what you HAVEN'T lost, instead focus on the fact that your have lost inches and your health is improving! I also had only inch loss and no lbs loss at my weigh-in last saturday - first time I have experienced it this way, but I've made a decision not to be downhearted about it, as it is a loss after all and I'm heading in the right direction of living a healthy lifestyle.

Sometimes I feel the same so I know what you mean. It's just the body shape changing due to the change in exercise. At first I was running three times per week to get into it. Now I've increased the running to four times per week with a Davina DVD in between and also two stretch/rest days. That's how I'm doing it. On rest days I still go out walking someimes with my little girl. I also train with weights at home. I'n watching my calories/portion sizes with the odd treat at weekends.
