    Word of wisdom though

    dont expect to fit into tight fitting clothes that fitted you before your 'gym experience'

    I got caught by being unable to put on skinny jeans cause of the 'post workout bloat'

    its just your body repairing itself and holding onto water

    Please have the knowledge before you just throw your "thoughts" out there. Some people truly need answers and your best "guess" or "assumption" isn't going to help them. (just sayin')

    This is a timely topic, as I just went through this a couple weeks ago. The first week, I put on 0.2 pounds, which is nothing really. However, I figured it was because I had a busy week and was eating a lot of fast food...like more than I had since I started this in February. So I tried upping my exercise and the next week, I gained another 0.2 pounds. Again, a half-pound gain is nothing, but I was still panicking. I thought maybe I was overdoing it, and alternated my cardio/strength days with days where I just did Zumba or took a walk, no more than hour with no strength. I also tried to watch my calories carefully just in case.

    Today, I got on the scale and lost two pounds. I still had a cardio+strength day today, but tomorrow, I'll just do cardio.
