lady_in_weighting

Is the info on your profile wrong? It shows you are trying to gain weight, so I am confused by your post. You look incredibly thin in your photo already.

Fat % as measured how? Bio electric machines rely on water, so if it is water weight (which is completely possible if this is a more intense program) that will effect your measure.

I gained 5 lb when I started crossfit from water weight... And since I do it daily, the water weight never dropped off... I just had to re-lose those 5 lb... But I look better now at the same weight than before crossfit

2 lbs of muscle in 2 weeks ,,,, impossible, but lifting heavy will hold more water in your muscles I would not weigh in very often and when you do maybe do it the morning after a rest day,,, use the mirror and pictures to see results not your scale ;-)
