This is so odd. I have lost a small amount of weight ( around 2-3 pounds) and I swear I look bigger! Clothes that were kinnda loose are now tighter and such. I can't figure this out!

Are you crash dieting and losing muscle mass instead of fat? Adding a lot of salt-based condiments to the food that you do eat in order to flavor it and retaining water as a result?

Ohhhh... i have been using more salt/sodium lately... I'll try to minimize that and check back in soon! Thank you! But, I havent been crash dieting. Actually, if anything, I've been eating more than I usually do.
