Please let me know if I am overreacting, but I started my very first cycle, var, on April 16th. My diet is clean, there has been some increase in strength noticed at the gym, and I have gone down 4 sizes in my clothes (from a size 8 to a 4). When I weigh I use the same scale in the same place. I weigh right before getting in the shower and after going to the bathroom. When I started the cycle I was 146....this morning I was 155.8. Ummmmmmmm huh?
While I have been trying to push myself in the gym and doing cadrio only 3-4 times per week for 30 mins each time, I cannot find why my scale would reflect an almost 10 pound gain. There is NO WAY I gained that much in muscle and I am 4 sizes of clothing smaller so it cannot be fat. I dont appear to be bloated (although with my stomach if I have to poo my tummy will swell a little and at this time, its flat.)
I know that I am not far into my cycle, just 11 days, so should I tough it out and give it a few extra weeks? You have to understand my concern, that after being as obese as I was, that weight gain like that is a huge red flag and alarm.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
