Hello-

My measurements are actually going up, especially lower body. But, I fell like, overall, I am looking better. Anyone else?

    Same here. I thighs are now touching. I know I'm stronger and all but this is not the effect I was going for. :). I'm giving it a couole more weeks. I'm currently on week 6.

    I'm only in the second week and haven't measured anything, but my jeans were tight yesterday! Ugh. Surely I'm not getting all buff in 4 workouts? ;)

    Muscle fatigue = inflammation = water/glycogen retention = apparent increase in size. Measure again at the end of your rest week.

    Thanks! Trying not to get discouraged, but I don't want to wear bigger pants. :)
