Working out?A few questions?
Ok,so I made the decision to really get serious about fitness and started really working out about a month ago. I have an elliptical machine for cardio and have been using hand weights and calistenics for strength.I can do around 70 squats same amount of crunches.I have been building up to this amount.I have a few questions.#1 is it normal to lose inches but not weight?I started in a size 16 jeans and now can wear a pair of 12's that I hadn't been able to wear in several years.All of my clothes fit better but the scale is steady,no loss.#2 -I keep hearing conflicting opinions on daily workouts? Is it safe to workout daily? SHould I do cardio on the elliptical one day then strength the next?#3 when can I expect to start seeing loss on the scale? Thanks

I'm no expert, but it is possible to lose inches and not weight. For one, you're building muscle in the process. Muscle weighs more than fat. So don't get discouraged if you don't see any changes on the scale just yet.
I used to work out on a daily basis. My knees would occasionally ache along with my joints, but I consumed enough protein, and I kept well to my diet. If you really want to work out daily, I'd suggest you challenge yourself one day and go easy on the next. Doing cardio one day and strength the next sounds great too.
When should you expect to see loss on the scale? Well, that depends. It varies from person to person. Everyone's body is different, and we all have different diets. Give it time.
