Workout but gaining inches and weight

Atthea

Hi I'm kind of new here: on and off online but On all the time with my diet and workouts since february.

I have this ongoing question and I keep searching on the web...

So I am working out 3-4 times a week: Turbo Jam, power yoga, Lotte Berk method and ballet.
I eat well, cut on portions, carbs, sugar and salt. I eat smaller more often meals; BUT keep on gaining weight.

My body is getting very firm and muscular I see definition, my belly is quite flat : lost a couple of inches on waist but gained on hips and chest...
This is driving me nuts!!!!! LOL !

I just keep going and I love to be fit but I wish I would get leaner....
Anyone knows something I dont ???

Thanks !!

It's most likely muscle definition. If you think about it, there's more muscles over your chest and hips then your waist which is basically fat over intestines. If you're seeing ab definition or toned limbs, it's all good. You seem to be on the right track.

Thank you for your answer!
That's what I keep saying to myself : carry on carry on!!!
It's just so terrible to gain weight all the time and I am not bodybuilding so it's NOT what I want !!

They say women can't gain too much muscle weight fast..
Am I proving them wrong!?!
