A member asked:

I've been exercising and dieting, eating healthy. i feel lighter and feel like i've lost inches. why doesn't it show on the scale?

Muscular: If you are doing the right things and feel good and losing inches with no significant weight loss, may be you gained muscles. Muscles weigh more than fat . If this does not apply may consider seen a weight loss doctor.
