I just started a Bootcamp class this week... in the beginning of the week before the class they weighed me in... now it's Friday and I've gone to 4 classes... i'm up 5 lbs... i'm super sore... is it possible that i'm swollen from this new regiment of exercise???

    absolutely, Your muscles are retaining water for repair, I have done about 7 bootcamp classes and I am up 4lbs, and I feel some water retention. This is normal and will go away so no worries :) Ive lost an inch off my arms and thighs though

    dont use your weight measure yourself instead, its a better way of seeing results from muscle intensive excerise
