in Health and Weight Loss
I changed my routine about four days ago (upped the weight and more intense cardio) and today I weighed in a pound heavier than last week? Are my muscles adjusting and have taken on more water to help them heal? Will I drop a ton next week? I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this besides me. It's not TOM cuz just I just finished that last week and my muscles are very sore from the change. Any thoughts?

    it's normal to see weight gain after a drastic change in exercise routine. Not only water, but changes in the muscles causes more/less glycogen storage, and other chemical changes. Dave's right though, wait at least 3 weeks to see what happens, 1 week isn't enough of a sample to be accurate about weight loss.

    Many times I see a 2 pound kerchunk after 2 weeks of no change (I weigh every morning.) Is that a ton? :tongue: It does feel good to see it go though!

    No matter what, you're burning more calories now so it's going to affect changes! I don't know how tall you are, but I also don't eat back all of my exercise calories. I have just a 270 calorie/day deficit because I'm short and sedentary. So I leave about 300-400 on the table every day.
