lost inches.. gained water weight???

shakybabe

can someone explain how its possible to lose inches and gain weight at same time?

I put on 2lbs overnight which I know is cos of yesterday eating chocolate, crisps and 2 regular tortilla wraps (usually have gluten free) and its probably only water weight but how can my waist measure 1 " smaller and my tummy (also 1" smaller) if my weight has increased? .. surely my body would have increased circumference with more water???

I used to look several months pregnant with all the water I used to carry... most of the first stone (14lbs) was water! .. so how is it possible for inches to shrink when water has gone up now?

toning up and muscle weighs more????

Not overnight though.. maybe you're retaining the water elsewhere in your body.. it can be in lots of places with muscle.

According to body fat scales I have put more muscle on since June but I was 11st 3 ... 2 days ago.. today I am 11st 5! .. I thought it was the carbs.. as having to use whats left in freezer.. my fresh fruit and veg arrives tomorrow! (so have been snacking on crisps and choc :blushing: )

Just thought it was odd how weight had gone up 2lbs and measurements down 2"!

I have been doing workouts everyday for last few days, so could be muscles storing water.. my leg muscles seem to do it alot after I been on passive trainer bike.

I'll see if water tablets helps it go back down before weigh-in!
