weight gain with 30 day shred

[Jmangel]

So I started 30 day shred 3 weeks ago after booking a holiday in June and panicking at thought of swimwear. My problem is tone and not weight - just saggy everywhere. So I started out at 8 stone 2 and 3 weeks later I'm 8 stone 8. I never gain weight and have been careful with eating. I am looking firmer a little bit so is this weight gain muscle? I really want to continue with the exercise as it's giving me loads of energy so maybe I should ditch the scales and just go off what I look like?

Definitely ditch the scales! They mean nothing! Well, they may mean you need a poo :-) Seriously, did you take before pics and measurements? That is the best marker.

Thanks - yes will go off the mirror instead. Although my bum and legs are shaping up, my waist and tummy are looking thicker although definitely firmer. Just a bit confusing - although I love the 30 day shred exercises, I don't necessarily want to look like Jillian. I think I'll add some callisthenics moves after it to make sure I'm lengthening out not just bulking up.

It's all about the stretch! Hold the pigeon pose, any yoga poses (follow a youtube basics stretching routine) you'll be AMAZED how they lean you out. Also cut the sugar (sorry) and up the water :-)

Thanks. Never done yoga but maybe now it's time. I am terrible with sugar and don't drink enough water - do you know me?!
