I did show improvement, nothing amazing.

I did aerobics (30-45 minutes of stair climbing) + mostly lower body
machines routine, 3 times/week. I was counseled by someone who knows
her
stuff.
Maybe my calories were too high in that period (maybe 100-200 extra?),
but
nothing that justifies a month long stall AND a steady weight gain of
1
pound/week.

Funny how it is always assumed that people are doing something wrong,
instead of questioning dogma.

Heh. I live in a 4th floor pad and did all this almost every day.
