It is if your putting on muscle. Losing fat while gaining muscle can keep your weight at an even amount. When I was in the army I got down to 180 then I got depressed when I shot up to 190. Bug when I got a body fat test I had cut down several percent and was packing on the pecks. Don't get discouraged about a number. Keep up the good work!0
