I missed my 100th post. Doh.
Btw, I think it's post count or not that makes someone a "Junior" or "Senior" member. (So that just means we talk a lot.
) You can also give yourself a custom title under "Edit Profile."

I can't explain the feeling except I feel "thicker" so I assume that is what water retention feels like? I am not too concerned with scale weight....it's just when it goes up each day, you have to wonder, "when is this going to STOP!?" haha I will trust you guys though, you know about this and have done this. I am so glad to have you all as a resource....that is if you don't get tired of our "Jr" questions!? LOL
I will go do HIIT cardio today and see how pants feel!!! thanks for the support!!!

Yep, that's how I felt, too, when I started. It does go away. I think I was reading yesterday that it can take 2-4 weeks (?) for everything to calm down when you switch workout/eating plans.
I haven't weighed myself since, er, February 10th, I think. I'm deciding that the actual number isn't important, so long as the muscles are growing and getting stronger. I'm finding that moving bigger weights is becoming more important/fun and more of the goal than what I weigh or how I look.
