I'm so confused... :(

Alright so a couple months ago I started dieting and working out again, and everything was fine. I hit a few bumps the road with lack of motivation and family visits (which means eating out).

Throughout this whole time the scale in my house was broken and I was just too lazy to get a new one, until a few days ago.

So...I bring home my new scale...and I get on it....and it says I've gained five pounds.

HOWEVER

I can see weightloss in my face, my jawline is becoming more defined, my collarbones are starting to poke back out and I've even noticed that my insanely annoying love handles are getting skinner.

AND

I even fit into these super cute jeans that I bought at wet seal that were a size and ahalf too small when I got them.

So...

Yeah...

I know muscle weighs more then fat, but c'mon...I've GAINED five frickin' pounds but I'm fitting into clothes that I couldn't fit in before.

Am I like...weird? lol.

A small secret: 5lbs of muscle wieghs the same as 5lbs of fat.


It sounds like you're doing fantastic BTW. Your body composition seems to be changing and you have wieght in more of the right places instead of in the wrong ones.

Plus if you're fitting into clothes that used to be too small, what's to be worried about? Keep up the good work.

Go get a 1 lb bag of marshmallows, and a 1 lb steak, then put one on each thigh.
That's why you look the way you do but you've gained the way you have.
