AMEN! I've told this story before, but it's worth repeating: when I started some serious weight training last summer, I started out at 135 lbs. I progressed nicely, losing inches just about everywhere. Guess what? I didn't lose a pound. Then, I slacked off in fall for a several months. The inches crept back and I was puffy everywhere - all of my clothes were tighter again. But guess what? I didn't gain a pound. I've stayed between 134-137 all that time. <b>The scale doesn't tell you what's going on internally.</b>
