ok this happens when you work out for six months. the fat that you must have had must have all been water. and everyone knows that muscles ways more than fat, so when you work out you might be the same weight and skinny because of the muscle gain or heavier than your original weight because of the muscle gain. either way, you are going to gain muscles for working out that long and don't think that you aren't losing that fat because before you have the muscles you have to get rid of the fat. fat will always go away and then the muscles will form so whatever you do, don't think that you are fatter because you gained a few pounds! its muscle weight and that always weights more than fat!

Because by working your muscles you are building the fibers. Fat burns off and muscles build. Muscle weighs more than fat, so you may have lost the 20 pounds of fat but gained about 28 pounds of muscle.

Same thing happened to me. I worked out for six months and had to go buy new pants in a larger size - depressing! But, six months after that, I was buying pants smaller than the ones I wore originally. It's like my body built the muscle first just adding to my size and weight and then the fat fell off leaving me nice and lean. Keep at and don't get frustrated - it will totally be worth it!

it's not "your body" it's your training and diet.
You are obviously taking in more calories than you are spending if you gained 8 pounds of muscle. You need to reverse this. Step up the cardio and cut 500 calories per day out of your diet

First off, congratulations!
A pound of muscle burns more calories than you think. In turn you have muscled up a little and it will benefit your body greatly in the long run. Do not be discouraged by this, your body is adjusting to what it believes is the best for it.
Keep working out!

Many people ask me how they can slim down. I recommend that people eat right and exercise. However, if they would like a little "help", I suggest using natural Hoodia (it's important to note that not all Hoodia works well, even if the bottle says "pure" or "standard").
The Hoodia sold at http://tinyurl.com/y389on is in my opinion the best Hoodia on the market. It's pure, has no side effects, and they give you a free 15 day sample (there is a $7.99 shipping and handling charge, but they also give you free recipe and diet guides). Fantastic results have been seen with this particular Hoodia.

Because through the "personal training" you built up your muscle which is a VERY GOOD thing. Muscle burns more fat! Keep up the good work!

in case you have any exercising kit, use it. Lifting weights/push united statessit united stateswill possibly no longer make you drop some pounds once you're already skinny (the muscular tissues will make your heavier), notwithstanding it's going to truly make you greater healthy. you additionally can do issues like shovel snow, and strolling remains a potential determination in wintry climate. that's purely slippery. once I went to a community soccer field, coated with snow, and ran laps.

Skipping foodstuff is risky - breakfast fantastically. additionally, do no longer use weight help pills. they are for dropping weight, speedy - no longer approximately well-being. and you relatively do no longer weigh sufficient to warrant particular weight help foodstuff or something. purely a word, the factor approximately previous due nighttime ingesting making you income greater effective weight is a hassle-free fantasy.
