Hi everyone

I weighed in this morning +5lb i was really upset but then i got dressed for sunbathing in the garden and I look slimmer, its very strange.

Last Sunday I pulled a muscle in my leg so i havent done much walking or exercise this week and in all fairness i binged because i felt sorry for myself so i expected gain this week.

I find it very strange that I am bigger but look smaller, anyone else get this?

Could you have been replacing fat with muscle? Muscle does weigh more than fat and would make you look slimmer. Other than that, no idea

Thanks for the suggestion raspberry it could be and i have been having problems with my muscles this week, it could be where they are repairing themselves.
Well I am going to get back into the swing of things tomorrow and start my walking up again and see if i can shift a couple of lbs next week

Thanks xx

Hi,I think that when muscles are damaged or even when you just work them out hard you retain water which helps to repairs the muscles. So maybe it's water retention and that's good because you could lose that easier than fat.
