How much weight have you gained. How often are you weighing yourself and are you tracking your intake.

I am weighing everyday, and tracking my food intake. Was reading it could be water retention to help heal muscles? Is that a thing? I am using protein powder after.

I gained about 1.2 pounds now lost the one after rest day but still have the .2; not a lot I know but it’s discouraging as all hell!

Are you measuring arms and hips? Muscle weighs more.

No, that’s a good idea. I’ll try that! Thank you everyone 💪🏼

Your body retains water while you form the tears in your muscles. This is normal and your body will adapt if you are in a true deficit!
