Hello
New to the website, but a reader of the magazine for some time, my name is Lou and I have a burning question.
Fortunately I have always been a slimi-ish person, always been 5 ft 4, 58-60kgs and a size 8-10, however recently I have become a real gym bunny and healthy eater, I even have a personal trainer once a week - the reason to shift the belly fat, and get in the best shape of my life, for my wedding which is now only 5 months away, I'm wanting to get slim and happy with my body, no real goal weight or size etc, more about how i feel and look.
My dillema is, I have now been doing PT once a week for 2 months and gyming weights and cardio, alternatively 4 times a week for 45 minutes to an hour. I have never ever in my life weighed more than 60kgs, I have always had issues with my weight and have intentionally never gone over this. However I am now 63 kgs :-O WTF. Why have I put on 3 kilos since going to the gym? I'm practising less calories in, more energy out and I'm gaining weight. So Why is this? Is it muscle? Will i get back down to under 60kg's? I'm not stopping becauses i feel great and I'm loving my new lifestyle.
Looking for some tips and advice from more experienced people. On a side note PT says it's nothing to worry about, could be alot of things, water retention, medication, muscle etc. It's just really bugging me.
