Gaining Weight

2 pounds? OMG, that could be almost anything, but I can pretty much guarantee you it is NOT 2 pounds of fat. Think about it. 3,500 calories = 1 pound. That means you would have had to consume 7,000 calories more than you burned exercising and well ... just breathing. With the sleeve at 2 months out ... I don't think that is possible.

So, what is it? Most likely it is water. At 2 months out, you are able to consume a little more than a month ago. You are also exercising. Calories get converted to glycogen for the body to use later for energy. They first get stored in the liver, then in the muscles. To be stored in the muscles, glycogen must bond with water with a 4-to-1 ratio. Meaning, if your body was able to store 1 pound of glycogen in your muscles, it would also need 4 pounds of water for a net amount of 5 pounds. This is a good thing.

You're doing nothing wrong. Just keep doing the right thing. You are not gaining fat. How do your clothes feel?

just drink a ton of water today

Maybe your time of month?

Thanks all of you are on point. It was my time of month for one, and I haven't been drinking as much water as I should which I am currently working on. I will continue to work out and eat like I have been. I know I haven't been just gaining fat so maybe it is just muscles. My clothes actually fit much better and I been losing inches and sizes in my bra (which is exciting). I will try to stay motivated! Thanks guys!
