Since my last weigh in 2 weeks ago, I have started taking MSM with chondroitin. When I weighed in today I was shocked to see that I have gained 15 lbs in 2 weeks.

I was taking the supplement to fight a nagging knee issue.

Anyone have the same issue with this supplement?

That is the only thing that has changed in my day to day program. I eat the same meals and the same workouts as always.

Any feedback is more than welcome

    Is it a juice or a pill? If juice bottle, name it so someone can look up the nutrition and sugar in it. Nothing online about weight gain, in fact some info about weight loss. And why are you not weighing yourself daily. I do, but I only log it once a week.

    It is a capsule. MSM with glucosamine/chondroitin.

    I quit weighing daily a while back as I was becoming obsessed with the fluctuations day to day. For a year I weighed every day when I started my journey. I started at 325 and am down to 167 and have Ben in the 167-175 range for months. The only thing new is the supplement and 15 lbs in 10 days is nuts.

    I run a lot (50 miles/week) and do some lifting and cycling so I am burning a lot of calories.

    It doesn't affect my weight.

    Sounds like you're not accurately tracking your food. Do you weigh and track everything?
