    This!
    I couldn't have said it better myself ;)
    To the OP:

    Your unexplained weight gain can be from a couple of things.

    1) Water retention from higher sodium levels. (Most likely from eating over vacation)
    2) Water retention from working out more. Muscles will hold onto water while they repair themselves.
    3) A combination of muscle mass gain from working out and water retention.

    Sorry to have caused such a stir about fats and muscle. It was indeed my time of month. Now that am done with my cycle, my weight is back to normal! Thanks all for responding!
