    i am having the same issue. don't know if i am weighing heavier because i am gaining muscle mass or because i should be getting my menstral cycle soon. been trying to eat right and have been exercising everyday for the past month but still can't seem to loose it for some reason.

    I wish I could build a pound of muscle a month :bigsmile:

    God me too, would make these nasty gym sessions so much easier.

    Thank you
    You gained 2 pounds since when? When was your last weigh-in?

    2 pounds could be caused by any number of factors. Water retention from excess sodium intake, water retention from sore muscles, water retention from your monthly cycle, weighing after a meal instead of before, haven't pooped yet today -- could be anything. But unless you're doing lots of strength training, it's not going to be muscle. The good news is, unless you've eaten a total of 7000 calories over your TDEE, it's not fat either. Need more info.
