OK. so I have started my workout using my Bowflex. It has been only 4 days. My weight has gone up!! My question is this.....do the muscles hold water when you do this type of training? I took my measurements, and they have gone down, so I feel that I am still moving in the right direction. I know that you can weigh more and be fitter and toned more. It just freaks me out to see the number on the scale keep going up.
