In January, 2011 I was working out 3 or 4 days a week. I’d say about 60% of that was strength training, and that was for only about 15 minutes on those days. I weighed myself on a counterweight scale and the result was 190 lbs.
In August, 2008 I was working out just as much but I weighed 176 pounds. Even so, I rationalized that the extra weight I saw in 2011 was due to increased muscle mass, although I suspected that most of the weight gain was actually from added fat.
In the last year, it seemed that I’d been working out less but eating just as much, so I guessed that my weight had gone up to about 200 lbs. I weighed myself on the same scale, and the result was about 180 lbs.
In summation, I was surprised to learn that I weigh 20 lbs. less than I thought I did.
