You could be gaining muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat and take up less space than fat. That's what is going on with me i recently started working out and i was a 100 pounds and gained 16.

How do you know when your losing weight?

Apart from reading the scale, there will be plenty of signs that if you are losing weight. Your clothes may feel looser, your appetite may have changed, and your friends may compliment you on your weight loss. Sometimes looking at the scale can be misleading. If you're working out, you're gaining muscle. You be be losing fat, but because muscle weighs more, you might not notice a change on the scale (or you may see that you've gained weight instead of losing it). One way to calculate whether or not you are losing the weight is to measure your abdomen, arms, waist, and legs with a tape measure. Record the numbers every week or so and see if there is any change.

What does it mean if I feel and look like you are losing weight but the scale doesn't show it?

If you are exercising, and weight training regularly, you may be burning fat while developing your muscles more.

Go by how you look, not what the scale says.
