True, but if my activity levels have dropped, I can be pretty sure my weight gain is almost entirely fat. Now that I've gotten back to being more active the past two weeks, I hope to see some results in the mirror before I worry too much about the number on the scale. In my case, the scale number will regularly fluctuate a few pounds just based on time of day or short-term variations in activity and diet.
