Your doing it right!!! Lynn Lingerfelter said most women will gain

weight the first few weeks. The muscles get puffy and so we gain

water and in some cases look puffed up....keep with it! It gets

better, but sounds like you have good results.

Good grief, I hope that's the case! I'm finishing my second week and my legs

look bigger, particularly my thighs, and my clothes all feel tighter in the

legs. However, I'm not planning on doing any weighing or measuring until at

least week 4 because last time I essentially quit after two weeks because I

wasn't seeing instant results. I look at it this way, I can spend 12 weeks

doing BFL and even if I were to have NO success, I'd still be in better shape

and feel healthier than if I spent 12 weeks with my hand surgically attached

to a bag of Cheetohs.

-lynne: Three inches is amazing. The scale isn't at all a

measure of progress in BFL, but eventually it will go down. At eight

weeks in my first challenge I had dropped 2 - 3 jeans sizes and it

wasn't till right near the end that I was getting happy with my

problem areas. Hang in there, your eating looks great. Don't tweak or

you might be doing something counter-productive. Just tell yourself

that no matter what, you are going to do what you are doing for 12

weeks... it will work and you will be amazed. Besides, 3 inches is

fantastic!

You GO girl!
