Hello, 2 weeks ago I recently upped my calories and have not missed a workout day. However, I am slightly panicking because I took my measurements this morning and my waist line was up an inch and thighs up 1/2 an in. My weight for the past couple weeks has been floating around 112, usually only fluctuates a pound. So I am confused due to the measurements. Is this water retention? Fat gain? Muscle? Trying to achieve maintenance so I am slowly upping my calories to that level. I am currently at 1390, before this I was at 1200. I know I have documented probably 99% of the time. Could you please help me, maybe even suggest if I am approaching maintenance correctly? And is their any truth to starvation mode and if so how long does it usually take the body to recover from this? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

no idea. maybe give it a few more days and see what's happening? did you change the make-up of your diet? are you retaining water because it's about to be that time of the month? did you work out extra hard and you have muscle inflammation? but mostly i'm responding to BUMP so someone who has an idea can respond.
