Stomach fat

I appreciate everyone's input, although it was not my intent to make this my personal thread :) While I was doing wts 3/wk for 70 min (including abs w/med ball for about 25 of those min), I will try to get back to that, and give it a go for 6 weeks and see what happens. I had also started running, with my long run up to 4 mi, but my neck injury has sidelined me... Interesting thing has happened in the last couple of days. I saw a friend at the pool I haven't seen since before SCY Nats. She said, "Wow, you look great. You've lost a lot of weight." And this morning, my mom who helps us out on Friday mornings by coming to our house, said, "You've lost a lot of weight." Now what's interesting is: I have not been doing any dryland, and not swimming much at all! The scale too is exactly the same. Maybe I've just lost a lot of muscle and it makes me look thinner? What gives?
