    You clearly put on 5 pounds of muscle (or more, if you burned fat!). Just don't overdo it, or you'll look like Ronnie Coleman in about two months.

    Wrong, women do not bulk the way men do. Lift as heavy as you want! The 5 lbs are probably fluid you are holding. Drink water, give your muscles a day or so to recover, and I bet it goes away!

    I don't know. SHE looks pretty bulky to me

    That 5 lbs most likely came from that well-developed calf muscle. You clearly don't know what you're doing.

    This is a common occurrence when you stretch after weight training, the stretching causes your muscles to move which frees up space for fat to be stored. Next time make sure your muscles feel really tight so the fat can't get in.

    Raspberry ketones. Get some. STAT. They will replace your cardio, WT, and food for that matter. Go buy them at amazon hurry!

    So you lifted weights for 2 days and you gained 5 pounds. How about your body fat percentage? Surely it should have dropped 10% after 48hours of lifting.

    WOW, based on that ripped body I'm pretty sure I'll drop the weights and just do cardio!

    I recommend 1200 calories maximum and lots of elliptical and zumba. There's also some pink weights that you can use but you should probably get a video at home and use that with the pink weights.

    You'll get really tone. Lots of reps.


    I have nothing witty to add, I just LMAO here.

    You didn't gain 5 lbs of muscle overnight, sorry! However that doesn't mean it's bad. After working out your muscles become engorged with blood- it's probably just fluid retention. And I'm not saying you havent gained SOME muscle either, just be patient and stay away from the scale for awhile

    If this is serious, I cant even tell anymore

    Because she couldn't POSSIBLY be on the way down or up. The camera man had to have caught that picture at the exact moment she hit her lowest. :P

    So I lifted weights yesterday and today I was 5 lbs. up. I am trying to lose weight not gain it........Maybe weight training just isn't for me. Should I go back to just doing cardio? I gave it a shot but it doesn't seem to be working out.

    You're right, it's not working. Stop, stop now. Save yourself...

    I had an English teacher say "Pardon the boner" and I busted out laughing...I was the only one laughing. Apparently it also means "mistake". Who knew?! Oops, I'm hijacking. So it must be a boner that Jac gained 5 lbs. :bigsmile:
