measuring a different spot on your body, even just slightly different, can cause inconsistencies in your numbers. So that's one possibility.0

Did you measure yourself? That is a really hard way to get your accurate measurement. Have someone else do it for you...0

I was measured by my wellness coach at the gym.. she has done all my measurements...0

I only went back a few days in your diary, and it was blank.
How much are you eating per day?0 -
my guess is a combination of mismeasurement and potentially some water retention currently. Do your pants feel tighter? If not, then there's no way you gained an inch on your hips.0

If you gained 2 inches around your waist you would definitely feel it in your pants. How are they fitting? if the same or looser than it's a matter of measurement error.0

Body recomposition can be a b!tch.
Take pictures, that is often the best way to judge your progress. Measurements can be deceptive.0 -
