This week, I started a more rigorous exercise program and have gained 4.6 pounds this week. My scale indicates that my fat % has gone down from 24 to 22% body fat and my muscle has gone up to 36% from 34%. I know muscle weighs more than fat, so this is possibly the explanation. I hope this is temporary. Has anyone else experienced this?
For the first three months, I was only walking for exercise. This week, I started running and lifting weights and this is the first week I have experienced any weight gain since surgery. I'm enjoying running again and even purchased a new Nordic Track treadmill yesterday. How strange that doing the right thing results in weight gain!
