Not even close man...

Some things to think about.

Muscle weighs more than fat. Losing weight is not always the same as losing fat. Since I started
riding again I've actually gained weight(muscle), but I'm slowly leveling out again (losing fat).
Anyone can lose weight, but doing it without actually harming your body and keeping it off is
more dificult.

Yes, muscles weighs more than fat, but you should not be able to gain more muscle mass than you are
burning fat, its almost impossible. You might burn 500-800 grams of fat each month with regular hard
workout (cardiotraining) and correct diet, but you cant gain 500 grams of muscle mass in a month.
The thing is, when you workout, the body is storing a lot of water, so that might be it, the
waterbalance in your body are leveling out now.

It doesnt have to be "dangerous" to loose fat, but a lot of people are doing it wrong. Starving
themselves or to much training... It should be a combined diet and correct amount of training.
Thats logic :-)

My body has a freaky balance to it where my density changes without messing with my mass too much.
During my peak laziness periods I will be noticibly filled out but only gain maybe 5 pounds over my
fit self. Weighing myself got really boring cause nothing ever changed. The only time I bother to
step on the scale anymore is before and after a big dump
