lol Well, I DO see a difference and I have been able to increase the weight. So obviously I'm building some muslce.

You might be building up some muscle, which helps lose those inches, but keeps the weight from dropping.

True, BUT... my scales measure body fat % too, which is not dropping. So even if I am losing some fat weight and putting on muscle weight, I should see a difference in the BF% on my scales.
I'm wondering though.. the scales only measure the body fat in my legs, I wonder if your body loses fat in specific areas first?

I wish I could do something like that, but I can't. Me and cardio don't get along, for one thing... but jogging is too high impact for my knees. (shut up Crippler!) I've injured both knees in extreme sports activities so there are certain things that just cause me too much pain. Impact activities are one of them.
I've always done better with high endurance and strength activities. Just my body type, I guess. I have a touch of asthma, so extreme cardio is hard for me anyway. I can row a raft down a river for 25 miles, or for 5 hrs straight... but I can't run for crap. LOL
Cardio that I do has to be more slow, sustained cardio - and low/no impact. Like rowing, I guess. Thinking about getting a rowing machine.
