KimTriesRNY 1,853 Posted December 19, 2018 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! 🙌 2 Beachladee3 and Liz The New Me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anonbaribabe 236 Posted December 19, 2018 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. 2 Liz The New Me and Beachladee3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
