Why don't my pants fit?

I'm only a few weeks into MFP and I bought a pair of dress pants last week. Today is my first day wearing them and they are so much tighter then when I bought them! And it's only been a week! I've lost a few pounds, I don't eat a lot of salty food. I hardly ever add salt to my food, I drink a lot of water and tea throughout the day. I don't feel bloated. It's a bit discourageing when new clothes don't fit right after you get them. I've been trying to get my cardio in everyday. I know it doesn't probably help that I've just started to get a cold, but I just don't like it. It wasn't the best start to my morning.

    Hang in there! Is TOM trying to make an appearance? Maybe you're just carrying around a little water weight. Good luck!!

    Also, at the risk of treading on a delicate area, some women can retain fluid at certain times of the month.

    Is that what TOM means??
    Not heard that one before.
    Its called Flo here!!

    You said that you are only a few weeks on to MFP.... did you start a new exercise regimen? Anytime you start a new exercise regimen, your body tends to pack on water weight to protect itself. The bloat will disappear once your body gets used to it!

    I just took the tags off of them this morning. So I haven't washed and shrank them. I'm a week past my TOM so maybe a lost a bit during. And yes I've just started exercising regularly again. Thanks!

    With a week past TOM, you may have start ovulating. I gain water weight then too. Just a thought.
