I had my daughter in September, in January I bought some new clothes including some size 13 pants that were TIGHT. I knew I would fit in them soon enough so I bought them anyways. I wasn't able to get to the gym for this whole month since then because I had wrecked my car, and I just can't seem to get myself to work out at home (I admit it, I'm a gym rat!). So that means I haven't gained muscle mass.
My size 13 pants are so big on me now that I can pull them off without unbuttoning them. My measurements show me that I've lost almost an inch since I bought them a month ago.
But here's where I get confused. I had a doctor's appointment this week and was so excited to get weighed because I KNEW I had lost weight.
I GAINED TEN POUNDS (in about 3 months).
So I just don't understand how this works...how did I NOT gain muscle mass, LOSE almost an inch but yet gain ten pounds?
Any ideas? I've just never heard of this happening without gaining muscle mass.
Thanks!
