What else did I lose besides bodyfat?

So I've been eating 5 meals a day and working out everyday. I lift 4 days a week and do cardio 7 days a week. When I started I weighed 254 lbs with 32% bodyfat (81.28lbs) then today (4 weeks later) I weighed myself and I'm 236 with 29.5% bodyfat (69.62lbs) my question is... If I went by the scale I lost 18lbs but if I go by the bodyfat alone I only lost 11.66 lbs. So where's the 7 lbs? I can't be losing muscle because I'm lifting weights and running... or can i?

    To loss the weight i think this option and its work for me:

    eat more fruit

    drink fresh juice

    get detoxification

    no junk food

    no milk

    no yogurt

    no soda

    drink natural water

    sport (like exercise, running, walking, aerobic, swimming)

    eat more salad

    good sleep

    the example eat menu :

    Breakfast

    Always same: juice presses fresh, as much as desirable, up to 14 ounce; fresh succulence as much as desirable, or salad fruit; when do you very hungry. When not make difficult, sometimes fun replaced fruit every day that eaten at morning

    Lunch

    your also gaining weight because when you workout you build muscles and muslcles weighs more than fat. And your body burns fat when it goes to sleep, but not in exercise

    It could be water weight. Especially if you are cutting back on your sodium intake.
