Wait, are you kidding me?
I don't understand. A few weeks ago I weighed 200 which I found to be strange that I gained 12 pounds in a few weeks....Now I weigh 208...but my clothes are looser and I don't feel as heavy...why is the scale going up but I'm not?!?! This is too confusing....I know muscle weighs more but How did I gain that much muscle…
