I totally agree that this is much more important than most people think.
I've been training hard (swimming) for the last 4 weeks. So far i've lost 0.6kg total weight, which is below my expectations. However, I also have been taking bodyfat measurements, which show that I've actually gained 1.4kg of muscle, and lost 2kg of fat.
As sticking with a routine is really about mentality, it really helps to know that you're making progress.
