Hello Today is July 1st and I am very frustrated. I weighed in at the gym. For the month of June i lost 6 pounds on the scale, and gained 1 to 3 inches seperately on my arms waist and legs.

arms 1" increase.
waist 2 " increase
Thigh 3" increase

How can this be possible. I have been jogging out. I did this 4 times last week. I exercised so far 2 days of 3 this week already( today is Wednesday) Why would I gain inches on my body?

Any idea's?

Personally I'd love to increase my thigh (quads) and arms (biceps, triceps) measurements but I'm not doing the correct training (for best results for hypertrophy sets should be 6-12 repetitions with a challenging weight) and my calories are at 1800 which for me is too low for me to gain muscle.

If you've gained muscle, enjoy.

Otherwise I'm baffled as well

This happens to me from time to time, especially after intense workouts. I believe it's water retention. It usually goes away once my body adjusts to whatever routine I'm working on. Other than that, I don't know.
