So in the last week i started to work out everyday, and i started to gain weight (144 to 146) My parents say it's from gaining muscle which i probably am gaining, but what i want to know is will the scale ever go down? I want to be 155-120lbs. I don't want to be stuck in the 140's. Also I am eating what i'm supposed to calorie wise so i'm not in starve mode.

    this early on it is not muscle per se, it is the fluid that rushes to the muscle because of the micro tears.

    Think of a burn on your arm. It swells red, then a blister forms.

    You will level out in this after working out a few weeks.

    I remember I was 132 when I went to the personal trainer the 1st time. I was psyched to be 129 by end of 2 wk sessions with her. Well on day 14 I was 136:noway:

    I :sad: and then I :angry: at trainer then I :mad: :explode: :grumble: ......

    THEN I went home and measured my 3 worst spots (upper belly, middle belly, lower belly.....Ok belly:laugh: ) and I was down.....1-2 inches on EACH spot! 6 inches total!!!:happy: :happy: :happy:

    So my muscles were swollen, but my fat was taking a walk.

    Keep working out my friend, I promise you will NOT be sorry!!!
