Bigger??

emilymiesel

I snuck in a measure after starting 30 day shred (I'm on day 5). My waist (at the bend) and hips are bigger

I drink 10+ cups of water a day, I supplement after workout with Dymatize Iso-100. Stay within my calories and am making good choices (you can check my diary)...

Why is this? It's driving me nuts!! I don't want to 'bulk' up or look blocky...


HELP!!'

by no means am I a pro and know much of anything but can it be bloating from ToM coming soon? Are you sore in these areas? maybe muscle? Shoot i dunno stick with it till the end of 30 days and remeasure? Ok going back to lurking

It is most likely water retention and once you are done with the program or have a rest day it will go down.

TOM doesn't come for me because I'm postpartum and breastfeeding...

Thanks tho its just frustrating and I would like an explanation...

Don't panic, the same thing has happened to me, during 30 DS, I realized later that while I started to build muscle I had not yet started to burn fat as quickly. So while it seemed that I had actually gone up in inches it was just sort of a waiting period while i waited for the fat to burn. Ended up losing inches.

i thought i read when you are working your muscles, they retain water as they heal, i am no expert, not even sure if i am remembering it right but its something you can look into

Thank you! It's nice to know I'm not the odd one out! I just wish I wasn't so worried about it...I feel better and notice I can do more of the level one so I am making some progress!

Come on 30 Days!!!
