Hi all. I'm 2 and a half months out. I just started really working out. I started trying to do C25K. I'm still pretty big and also out of shape so it's taken me a while to working up to complete even day one. I've done it 3 times this week as well as a 'boot camp' style workout with my best friend one night. I've also been walking in between and doing some floor exercises at home every morning (crunches, jumping jacks etc)

Anyway I noticed my weight hasn't moved this week since starting all this. Intact it's gone up. I was 305 last week and now I'm 307. Is this normal? I've been going pretty hard at this, I'm pretty sore and swollen so maybe it's Water weight? Any input much appreciated!

It's all about the Water. The whole "starvation" thing is pretty bunked' date=' both food and water. The metabolism and physiology of the body all move so slowly, it literally takes many, many weeks, if not months before the body reacts and hits that phase, and then even then, most people will never truly kick off true starvation mode in their life, it's just not as common as the fitness people throw around and there is a TON of misinformation about it. It's a real thing, a very real thing, but if it were as prominent as people throw around, our world wide epidemic of morbid obesity would not exist as it does today.

Short Answer: You work out, muscle fibers tear (it's how new, stronger muscles develop), your body goes in to repair mode. In order to do so, you start retaining fluids, water weight, as it's called. Your body fills these glycogen stores and keeps them full for 24-78 hours after working out to repair the muscles and get them back to where they need to be. The soreness, etc, is all part of the wonderful rotation of building new, lean tissue. There have been huge scientific studies about it, but I won't bore you with them here. It's totally normal after starting a program, and having a massive workout for your weight to be up a tad, sometimes as much as 3-4 pounds. If you're holding steady, it's the fat being lost, yet your body maintaining weight via fluids. As others have stated, it is absolutely imperative for you to get in those fluids to help your body recover![/quote']

So as opposed to drinking my protein drink first, then maybe a boiled egg after.. I should switch to Greek yogurt before and protein from after? Will this help?
