I never have.

Cut down on your salt and see if that helps.

Welcome to the board, Deepa!

Are you keeping adequately hydrated?

I find that making muscles bulge makes the fat above it bulge. It might not be water retention so much as merely having inflamed muscles under the subcutaneous fat layer.

Hi Deepa,

Yeppers, I've had that experience. I jumped from 30 mins a day of working out to 45+mins a day and found that I not only retained water (from the sodium in our body...what Cleo said), but I went up a few. The main thing I think helped (posting here on the board was one ), but also drinking water, keeping up with my program, and remembering to rest on my "days of rest". Your body's muscles need time to heal and repair.

Best wishes and may the bloation go away soon.
