does fat get stored in fat cells?

if so, then when losing weight... when you burn fat...

do you burn the fat within the cell or the whole cell...

the myth (or fact) that i've heard is that you retain the fat cells in your body but burn the amount of fat within the cells... so as you diet and lose weight, you still retain all the fat cells.
