I know for a fact that in an 8 week period of exercise I will put on "weight" but lose cms and body fat - this is what always happens - which is why I got kicked out of WW for putting on weight (I was at the gym twice a day and dropped 2 dress sizes & 5% body fat but put on 8kg of weight).

I hate the word diet - dieting is BAD BAD BAD - healthy eating is good but cutting out supposed "bad" things isn't (like potatoes, milk, butter)
