Thank you for such a great article. BUT what if one has no weight loss or gradual gain after starting new workouts for more than a few weeks?0

Thanks so much for sharing!!! I'm getting ready to head into my 3rd week of 30DS - first week I dropped weight but last week I GAINED and it was extremely disappointing. I was discouraged and frustrated, b/c I'm not eating over 1200 calories and burning 250 - 500 calories 5 - 6 days a week. This explains so much!!! Thanks again for sharing!0

I wonder if this can be a constant process. I am always sore because I'm always pushing it up a notch. As soon as an exercise becomes comfortable I'm pushing to a higher weight, higher resistance, faster, farther something. I haven't lost any pounds in 6 or so weeks. I have lost inches so I know I'm getting more muscles which are replacing the weight of the fat I lose but it is still discouraging.
You are not alone in this. I am following the 'New Rules' heavy lifting program, and usually increase my weights every workout, or every second workout, and I am in a pretty constant state of experiencing DOMS. It's not a lovely feeling but I've gotten used to it. I think I read somewhere that some people are just more susceptible to DOMS, while other people on experience it for the first couple times starting a new routine, and then never again.
Glad you guys posted this, because I was beginning to wonder about myself. I really do think some people are more susceptible to DOMS, and I'm one of them. Nice to know it's not just me.0 -
Thanks for sharing this definitely helps and makes a lot of sense. I never thought of the muscle soreness resulting in fluid retention but as soon as I started reading this article and I knew exactly where it was going and I'm like your body must retain fluid when the muscles are sore, ofcourse why didn't I think of that before!
Definitely will remember this for any time I start a new exercise program and know not to get discouraged!0 -
So glad I read this! I just started working with a personal trainer and the whole thing is new for me. I was very discouraged when I gained 2-3 pounds this week! but now I can see what may be causing it and thankfully this morning my weight started going in the right direction!0
