  Weight isn't the issue. The way muscles and weight appear on your body is what you're on about.
  Carefully gained weight = larger muscles. Muscles weigh more than fat.
  So if you're exercising, and looking after yourself, then, you'll weigh more, but look healthie. 
  Inches are the better measurements, especially if you're so hung up on this old style thinking, about exercise and weight. >
  
  I agree, when you lose the weight, you are just losing fat, and when you are gaining them, you gaining muscles. BTW, the claim “muscles weigh more than fat” should be “muscles are note dense than fat” because 1 pound of fat takes more space than 1 pound of muscles.
