Yea, that weight probably consists mostly of your guts because you eat a lot more when you work out. I've been working out on and off for years, and I've found that it makes a lot more sense to train for endurance and strength, lifting more of lighter weights. You don't poof up like donkey kong, but you're much more toned and fit looking. All the bulk just looks stupid, and if you stop working out, it won't be long till it dissipates anyway. Plus, you have to buy new shirts which is a royal pain in the wallet.
