Why do I feel this way?

Does anyone else have this probelm of the scaled saying you've lost, but man you just feel like you've gained in your stomach? Don't know how else to describe it

When I have high fiber days (way over the 25g I aim for) I feel like this. I also feel bloated if I don't drink my 12 glasses of water.

It's likely because you are bloated or your stomach is distended. It must be in the water, because I have been feeling that way all day. There are so many things that can cause it, but I know for me coffee usually helps relieve it as long as I don't have too much milk or cream added to it.

I am right there with you!!! Actually, the scale has stayed the same. However, I do think the inches are starting to come off.

I feel that way when I don't spread my calories out enough throughout the day. My stomach gets used to feeling hungry then it gets too full from a regular sized meal.

I think I had this exact thought every time I passed the mirror today. For me I really do think I have gained weight in my stomach. Ive lost 5 pounds since not exercising due to health issues and I think its showing not a good way.
