Weight Gain and Inches

jenniferb_00

So since about the beginning of december iv gained about 5 pounds. I was 116.5 and now i'm about 121 and im 5'3.

Now when i was 116.5 lbs my measurements were:
Bust:32
Waist: 24
Stomach (Belly Button): 30
Hips: 35
Upper Thigh: 20

Currently at 121 lbs I measure:
Bust:32
Waist: 24
Stomach (Belly Button): 30
Hips: 35.5
Upper Thigh: 20.5

So the only real difference is 0.5 inches on my hips and thighs. I know its just 5 pounds but i do feel the difference however its not really reflected in my measurements as much as i would have thought. This doesn't make sense to me. And im pretty sure i haven't gained muscles as the only exercise i do is on the elliptical trainer, i do put the resistance quite high but im not sure that would cause for any muscles gain.

was there a question?
i bet it just mens that you gain weight like a pear shaped person as in on your hips and thighs.

Ha ha, no i suppose i didn't pose an actual question. But i suppose that would make sense. It just seems like i feel a lot bigger even though its only five pounds but my measurements don't quite reflect that feeling.
