    Where you working out before you started doing the 30 day shred? Sometimes starting a new workout or even changing up your routine can cause a little bit of water weight.

    Yup, very likely water weight. When you start exercising, start a new program, increase the intensity in other ways (faster, further, more weight/reps/sets, etc) your muscles suffer microtrauma and the tissues retain water and glycogen as part of the healing process. This can cause stalls or slight gains. But don't worry, it's pretty temporary.

    However, if you plan to continue with strength training type exercises, you should know that you'll continue to see these fluctuations as you continue to challenge yourself. You just need to make peace with it and maybe worry less about that goal weight and more about how your body looks, how your clothes fit, etc.

    Other water weight factors that could also be in play - high sodium, not enough water, monthly hormone cycle, even high carb days.

    For a year I could not workout health issues and I used to. Over exercise this is first time in long time I've done a workout like this I used to always be at gym working out 24/7
