I've been working out with weights for the past couple of months, so the scale is being hateful, but it's nice to have some clothes with a little more breathing room in them.
Working out with weights is great. When you look at the scale though, remember that muscle weighs more than fat does, so gaining muscle by lifting weights might mean your scale doesn't move, even though you're turning fat into muscle. If you can afford a Tamita scale, they're useful for measuring you're progress. Here's a link to one of the less expensive ones. I use one that's similar. Bed Bath & Beyond Product
