hey,after going to the gym every day for the pass 2 weeks and burnng off approximately 550 calories per day,i felt that my body become slimmer in certain parts like thighs,arms and butt.but,when i stepped onto the weighing scale my body weight is still the same as before.why is dis so?

This may be due to a few reasons, good reasons of course :
1) You burn approx. 550 calories a day (depending on what exercises), you look different but you still weigh the same, because the much of the fat in your body has been converted into muscles (the same mass of muscle is only 1/3 to fat in terms of size).
2) Your daily calorie intake should be taken into account, if your intake of calorie is slightly more than what you burn daily, your weight will remain almost the same.

Somehow the bolded part of your statement is wrong. Fat ain't turning into muscles and vice versa. What happened is that the fat shredded off but in the same time, them muscles are growing. So, the weighing scales won't budge but if you take a better measurement, you can see that muscle mass percentage is up and body fat percentage is down.

Thanks for your correction, appreciate it

tq for the explanation

i have the same problem as dentalfloss...

i have been eating healthy and exercise almost daily for about 3 weeks..... i really felt good and i really think that my body become slimmer but the weighing scale just make me want to give up..

right now i would continue my diet and exercise and hope to reduce more body fat...

i hope i will lose weight and see my six pack eventually

treadmill machine?apa tu?

Yo ernest..macam nie boss..

same happened to me, i just ignore the weighting scale & believe the body changes

I don't understand question

Hello everyone.

Wanna ask. Yesterday, when i weigh myself, I am still at my same weight. But then, when my friend see me today, they said i put on abit of weight? My reaction was " WTF, which part, are u kidding? " They say stomach just bit n face bit.

But im at my same weight? Wat happen? I admit I had been eating abit too much but I only eat in the afternoon then after tht I go gym n work it off. At night, i follow my diet routine

A quick question to the members here :-

Will the power measurement of the eye glasses lens be affected with the way you clean up your glasses (ie. wiping it with different types of clothes / cleaning it with mild soap foam)

Thanks !

any1 interested treadmill machine???

hello there
i have a question here.

how to gain body muscle in the same time maintaining cardio stage in perfect level.

i heard jogging in a long distance is no good for muscle gaining.
in my case i need to maintaining cardio level in high level as i do rowing for my univ. its a endurance aerobic sport.

my height is 179.5cm and my weight is 67kg. my bmi is 20.8.

tq

Hi eikhwan. It depends on which muscle that you are trying to develop. There are specific routines for each one like biceps or abs. Jogging is the ultimate exercise for burning calories.
