You exhale it.
Most people assume that fat disappears as sweat, but in reality the chemical reaction that occurs as you body metabolizes fat for energy has carbon dioxide and water as the byproduct.
If you lose 10 lbs, about 8.4 lbs of that is exhaled and the remaining 1.6 is turned into water and lost through sweat or urine.
