Life after 50

Do these exercises and practice some kitchen discipline and you'll be in better shape than most. Great to start with, or if you're looking for a deload, but keeping the groove greased, or maybe just a change of pace.
Question for the group.
This my 50th year of weight training-was a beast in HS and College. Then life intervend and I trained for strength and fitness.
The last few years, I've noticed that when I include a good amount of lifting the scale goes up. Fitness is good, strength is up, looks are fine but the scale doesn't budge.
If a rebalance more toward non weight exercises the pounds come off, but I'm a hard core lifter and can't imagine going to a gym and not lifting.
Anyone elses similar or have you overcome the weight or weight training bug?

I've read your post a few times. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
Without knowing all the details I'd venture a guess that your problem is in the kitchen, not the gym.

If I train almost exclusively with eliptical, rope pulls, bodyweight, running... the pounds come off.
If I split the program into a greater % using weights-same intensity etc. the scale does not move.
