MariahSnow Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Ok so for pretty much my entire life, whenever I stepped on a scale, I weighed about 155lbs (I'm 5'11 and female). Since January, I've focused more on lifting and less on LSD cardio (Long, Slow Distance). Sometime back in February, I randomly stepped on the scale at the gym (new-to-me scale, so I don't have a good baseline), but the reading was 162. My thoughts were, "hmm, interesting, more than I normally weigh. Whatever" Today, I stepped on it again - 167. I'm pretty sure I'm not just gaining weight because I do watch my calories. And also, I notice my clothes fitting differently and I can see tons of definition in my arms where there was none before, and a lot more definition in my legs. It feels strange to be like, "Woohoo! I gained 10 lbs!" But... WOOHOO, I GAINED ~10 LBS! It also feels strange to look like I weigh less and yet I weigh more. Amazon Warrior 29, F, 5'11 ft, 159lbs #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 Link to comment

rbudding Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 If your clothes are fitting better and you see increased definition, then I would say the weight gain is muscle and a good thing!
