I guess I should be the last to reply to this. However, something I found out the other day might help.

I NEVER eat before my workouts, never.. Since I belong to Ballys, I get email tips on exercise. The reason I mention this, is because I am getting stronger, but losing weight. The tip mentioned that if you DON'T eat before you exercise, you will not GET ANY WEIGHT GAIN. I noticed that my lifting poundage is going up, but my weight is going down. Not complaining, because as we get older, it is NATURAL that we put on more weight.

Hope this little tips helps out...
