I am a lady :) Although I do have very good genetics for muscle building. Thank you for your advice!

According to bmi-calculator.net, my body fat % is 24.95. Does that narrow it down in terms of calorie intake?

Why would you ever wear a bra to bed when you... didn't have to? If I didn't have to wear pants in public I never would. Clothes come flying off the second I'm back in my room after classes, bra included. I only wear it when I have to.

Where is this calculator? I just went and used a TDEE cal (never heard of this before) and it told me my BMR is 1201 calories/day, and my TDEE is 2072/day. Not quite sure what this means though?

Reading through for inspiration! I am 5' 3" (well, technically 5' 2.75"... sue me) and I started at 102, and have been steadily building muscle! I feel much stronger and I'm very happy I began working out every day. Once I see more results I will post them in the forum. It's nice to see all you pretty petite ladies! :)

I am in the middle of something similar right now. I have very narrow hips and a 25-inch waist, and it is refusing to get smaller. It makes me look out of proportion. I'd love to see others' advice for this issue.

It was taken with my broken iPod touch in poor lighting; I'm a student, not a photographer. The general gist to be picke dup from that photo is my large tummy. Surely that is visible enough even with a poor quality photo? I am today actually beginning to decrease the amount of gluten in my diet to see if it makes a…

Peppermint tea is something I've never tried but have always wanted to. I most certainly will try it. Thank you :)

Also, anyone else dealing with bloating on a daily basis?

No, I'm not eating more. And I'm not gaining fat. Water retention is most certainly the answer for a few reasons.

This was the first time I'd weighed myself in about a month, because the last time I stepped on a scale was the end of first semester. 103 is an estimate, which is why I said "about 103", because that's a higher end of my normal weight fluctuations. I'm eating a lot of protein and fiber, veggies, fruit. Probably a little…

* For the record, I am not paranoid about my weight nor am I trying to lose weight. So, please, no comments about that. I am only asking here to see if this initial weight gain is normal.
