May/June Weight Management Challenge

[goldfinch]

Went up again, another 2 pounds to 219. After biking regularly for three weeks and increasing miles every week, I can only assume it's muscle weight. I can feel new muscles all over and I have been watching my diet (although it could improve). I will be happy when I start burning fat.

Provided that you are not eating too much, the weight gain likely is mostly water, which is not uncommon when increasing exercise, as part of the muscle healing process and to facilitate storage of glycogen. It is hard to gain more than about a 1/2 a pound a month in muscle for women.
