Getting smaller but weighing more...

[RoadRaven]

My recent problem besides the mysterious 11 pound weight gain I have gone thourgh since April

I have notice about a 10 lb. weight gain in the last 4-5 months.

I don't know if I gained weight in the first year of cycling, cause I weighed myself one summer, and didn't hop in scales again til the following summer.
But as I said earlier, it was over a year before I actually started losing weight, although my body shape was changing.

So good to hear not all of us live by what scales say, but by what our bodies can do and how our clothes fit.
I certainly understand the use of scales to help manage a condition (like diabetes) but we must be so careful not to let scales rule our thoughts.
