One pound of muscle and one pound of fat are NOT the same size.
If I place one pound of muscle on a scale and one pound of fat on a scale, they will both weigh one pound. The difference is in total volume. One pound of muscle may appear to be the size of baseball.
One pound of fat will be three times the size and look like a squiggly bowl of Jell-O.
See for yourself
Before exercising I weighed 141 pounds and was a size 10.
After my first round of Power 90, I was 139 pounds and a size 6.
Assess your results by using a tape measure to calculate inches lost, note how your clothes fit (or don’t fit anymore) and lastly step on the scale.

Thank you so much for this article!! I feel much better!! I was starting to get frustrated because the the scale was not moving! I had lost 6lbs but I’m starting to gain weight(muscle) I’m 4′11 and weigh 143.4lbs… I wear a 9/10 and can fit some size 8… I would like to loose 20lbs. Do you think that is possible?? I just want to loose my tummy and back fat.
LOL. I just replied to your earlier comment…duh. That scale is a liar.
I do think 20 lbs is possible, but I’d rather you focused on a certain size rather than a weight. That will be easier to achieve for the reasons outlined in the post you read about muscle vs. fat.
