I started working out a month ago and i had the idea of taking pictures to track my journey but today i almost cried my stomach was so bloated i look bigger (fat)in my a month later picture than i was when i started. I started eating healthier as well when i started working out i eat less fat foods and i work out alot compare to what i use to work out before. i have done some research but wanted to know if anyone has experience this? is it normal?

    It just happened sometimes. Did you eat something unusual that causes bloating?

    Are you taking measurements? It is literally bigger in centimeters, or does it just "look" more bloated to you?

    Where are you in your menstrual cycle? That is usually a bloating issue for females.

    Are you tracking your food? How are you doing that?

    Need more info to give a good answer. In the meantime...

    Maybe just a one day thing. Did you eat at a restaurant and consume more salt than usual? Could you be retaining water during your cycle? Constipated? Don’t panic.
