I am new to weight training and have been doing this for abotu 4 months now. I recently because of scheduling issues I have had to take some time off from cardio and weights, not long maybe a week will go by before I work out then I start back up for a day or so then another week goes by. I have noticed weight coming off where as before it was just inches. Is this ok for me? any opinions on this

Your muscles grow and your body recovers with time off. A week off every 6 to 9 weeks is very benificial. Keep your diet the same and enjoy the rest.
