Is this water retention?

danielwillis22

So after battling what i sure was water retention from high sodium protein powder (13000mg in 100g) I have noticed my abdomen getting slightly smaller and the weight on the scale has gone down about 2 pounds.

I have love handles that look way out of proportion for my body and i still get slight swelling above my sck line by the end of the day? Is this normal or is it a sign that i still have water weight the get rid of?

I just want to know whether i should be trying to lose fat or keep gaining muscle just now

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I believe the photo shows ankles, which are not water retention.

Good luck with all your health and fitness goals. :flowerforyou:
