To Sara of Fit by Sara: “I’ve been working out consistently for over a month now and I’ve only lost 4 lbs!  My pants are a little loser, and I feel more toned, but I’m unhappy that my weight hasn’t gone down much.  Any suggestions?”

From Sara of Fit by Sara: “If you notice a difference in the way your pants fit then you’ve defnitely lost inches.  If you’ve added weight training you may have built some muscle which could translate to less of a drop in your weight.  If you feel that you should be losing more inches AND more weight then I recommend that you look at your diet.  Keep a detailed food journal for a week and you’ll likely notice patterns of unnecessary snacking and large portions.  Once you see your pattern you can make minor changes that can result in significant weight loss.” -Sara Holliday
