Question: Has anyone had an issue with water retention? I am 4 weeks in, have 30 lbs to lose, and lost 8. 5 lbs in the first two weeks. Which I am thrilled about. Last two weigh ins have shown some inch loss, definite fat loss (10. 5 lbs of fat) big drop in visceral fat ( more than normal) bur no actual weight. That’s not my problem. What’s very odd is that I am “up” 4lbs in water !? I have been on hormones for menopause since last summer, take all the supplements, packets and no deviations. 1-2 restricted a week max, I drink at least 64 oz water a day, walk on the treadmill 3 x a week average and basically follow the program to a t. I write everything down too. My coach thinks it’s hormones that are showing the water increase on the body composition machine as there is nothing else that could really be the cause. Thoughts ?
