ARGH! WHY did I get on the scale???

Up almost SIX pounds. I know it's water weight (at least, I hope it is. Other than a cheat day I've been running a good deficit) I know I shouldn't get upset over it...but here I am. I feel so bloated and like the Incredible Hulk in all of my shirts. Nothing fits.

I already drink a ton of water and I'm on a prescription diuretic for blood pressure and they're not helping.

How long did it take before the bloat went away for you? Or will it not go away until after I'm done with the lean phase?

    :brokenheart: . I get so sad when I don't see the numbers going down so, I put away my scale for the month of August.

    I did that for July, and it went pretty well. I was supposed to do the same thing for August...but I was curious since I look/feel like The Hulk.

    my weight would go up from a loss once a month. i think you know what i'm saying...

    you are also just starting and I read that your body can hold on to some weight at first.

    keep going, you'll be ok.

    hugs,
