After working out sporadically for the last 2 years (and losing 40 pounds), I started being more consistent a few months ago. Six days a week I do a cardio workout before breakfast and three days a week I also work out with weights.

The scale hasn't shown much loss in that time, but I am definitely losing fat; either that or my clothes are growing.

That makes sense, because muscle weighs more than fat, so when you replace fat with muscle you could actually gain weight and still be thinner according to the tape measure or the pants-o-meter.

I have decided to ignore the scale and keep exercising and low carbing, because being thinner is more important to me than a number on the scale. I know it will all even out eventually.
