Panic, after weeks of losing weight, the scale is up 5 pounds! Randomly! I started lifting weights and exercising more- go figure! It sucks when i m not at goal, . Just going to tighten up my diet, pay attention to fluid intake and hope for the best.

Sleeved 10/24

Starting weight 218.8

Last week 185.6

Today 192, wtmf???

Sounds like water retention from the exercise.

Do not panic, it will go away.

Watch the sodium intake and keep up on the great work!

When you start lifting weights, or doing any type of resistance training, your muscles get micro-tears which causes fluid in your muscles. For me, it always takes a while before the water weight would go down—usually a week or two—and then all of a sudden I'd lose a lot overnight.

That makes sense. Thank you!
