Dieting

Ive been dieting for 3 weeks now and slowly getting back into my work out routine. Is it really possible to gain weight?? My clothes feel a little looser but I gained a few lbs

I havent done a lot of strength training either

Re: Dieting

you probably lost inches, and built muscle, muscle weighs more than fat apparently...i know how you feel...im on the same boat!

they say it takes a long time for your muscles to actually weigh more - it doesn't happen after working out for just a few times.....at least that is what i've heard.....

but i have heard that after working out your muscles swell or maybe it has something to do with water and something with the muscles - and i think whatever it is that happens can make your weight fluctuate maybe by a few lbs....

not to be weird but what were you wearing when you weighed yourself? i only weigh myself naked b/c its not accurate if you have clothes on....and i always weigh myself at the same time of day - its funny b/c i weighed myself the other day at dinner time and the next morning i weighed myself again and it said i lost 3 lbs so i was laughing - but i knew that would happen b/c i always weigh the most when i get home from work for some reason (probably b/c of all the food i eat during the day )........so maybe it has something to do with what you were wearing and what time of day you are weighing yourself KWIM?

Now that I am trying to lose a few lbs. I only weigh myself in the morning wearing the same amount of clothes, on the same day once a week. The only thing I can come up with is maybe Im getting old Aunt Flo, but I wouldnt know b/c Im irregular
