hey guys

ive just started a heavy workout schedule again after a very long time

im eating back my calories - well trying too - tummy aches and all and have found that instead of losing my desired inches, my jeans are getting tghter :S

now i know my muscles may be retaining some glycogen or whatever it is they do...but is this normal? and how long before things calm down? am i going to be 'bigger' fo ages or is it a week or two/month thing? it seems i was better off eating 1300 and doing no exercise?

helpp...

thanx

Oh at worst a week or two at best a week.  Every time I up my workout I gain 5-10 lbs!!!  No kidding!  But it's just water, gycogen and junk... drink your water and keep it up. 

The best part is when it comes Down!  for me I started at 194, went up to 198, then in about 2 weeks dropped all the way to 187... now I upped my workout again and i am at 192... Can't Wait to see what happens next.  Stick with it this is normal.
