Re: Magical Weight Gain...

If you want advice, don't think about weight, think about form and shape. Muscle takes up less volume than fat but weighs more, and it's possible you gained muscle and lost fat and got smaller, too.

Nope. It's all on my abdomen, unfortunately. I can tell because my pants feel tighter and I look preggers.

Thanks for trying to put a positive spin on it. (I know it's not muscle gain because my exercise level has been steady for over half a year -- I've just been reducing calories).

That really sounds like water weight, tbh. That's where it usually packs on.

Are you drinking enough water? Eating less salt?

I'm pretty sure I'm drinking enough.

I have several large glasses every day and I eat so many fresh fruits and veggies on top of that. I don't add any additional salt to my food either (except to the water when I boil eggs).

But I can't understand why the weight gain is happening NOW -- I've been eating like this for quite a while.

DA

Hormones? Stress? Water weight isn't like gaining a pound of fat. It's not usually caused by anything you did. Hormones can strike at any time, without rhyme or reason.

Any major stressors recently? Stress can raise your cortisol levels, which can make you gain.

Nope.

I actually finished classes well over a week ago (and even then I had basically nothing due) so I can't imagine it's that.
