Explain this about weight and measurements.?
Question:
Answers:
by working out, you build up muscle, muscle weighs 5 X more than fat. But if you lose weight ... it doesn't mean as much as losing inches or cms. It's how your shape looks like .. and not the weight. I have answered a question about weight loss, check it out, it could help you.

You are in better shape now.
Muscle is heavier than fat.
This is why weight is not a good indecator of health or fitness.
not a problem especially if you are active
Bone mass also affects weight. You may have large amounts of calcium deposits if you are not exercising regularly (and therefore gaining muscle). It could be a mix of increase muscle and bone mass, as well. Typically, increased bone mass will change your measurements but not if there are unhealthy deposits in joints (you may or may not feel) and other areas.
Typically in women, changes in bone mass (and muscle/fat tissue) are seen in post-menopause and menopause. You should probably see a doctor just to make sure everything's tip-top.
In body measurements, I assume that your only measuring the waist, bust, and hips. As you age you will fill out in other areas as well; such as your face, forearms, thighs, etc. Your breast will start to drop and you may have interpreted the measurement wrong. You should place less importance on loosing weight and more on eating healthy and exercising. My suggestion is that you throw out your scale, buy a healthy eating cookbook, get on an exercise plan, and let the weight thing work itself out. Good luck.
You have more muscle today then you did 2 yrs ago. If you are the same size, but you weigh more, then this means that your body density is greater. Muscle is more dense than fat. Does your body feel harder than it did two years ago?
You need to work, run every day and do some hard work and take lunch in the at 11O'clock and again 3 o'clock and take a diner at 8 o'clock in the middle if you hungry you can eat little bit and make a space don't eat too much.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
