Waist measurement went up??

Okay, I need some insight here.

I have been doing Body Revolution now for 2 months. I just started phase 3, the final month.

During the first month I gained a couple of pounds. Not too surprising since the increase in strength training made me really hungry and I ate around maintenance for most of the month.

The second month I lost 2 lbs, which put me less than a pound below where I had started. The bodyfat reading on my scales also says I went down 1% in bodyfat since beginning the program. My abs are beginning to appear. My lower abs look a little flatter. (I never really had a pooch--instead my ab fat was more like an even blanket.). So all of this is good news.

I decided to measure my waist. I was so disappointed to find that my waist had increased by almost 2 inches!

What is going on??
