Laina <3 asked in HealthDiet & Fitness · 8 years ago

why wont my jeans fit after i've started exercising?

Before i started exercising, i was on a pretty healthy vegetarian diet, 1500 calories with the occasional snacking on popchips and I maintained 128 lbs. I wanted to get to 125 so i started exercising (run/walk intervals, strength training, elliptical) to get the last three pounds off. Before exercising I could wear my size 4 jeans comfortably. Now that i have started exercising, they hardly fit me, i am kind of restricted to yoga pants. My diet has honestly gotten better since i started exercising, i dont snack as often, only at dinner i eat a serving of pop chips. What could i be doing wrong?

Thanks

    You gained muscle which happens when you start working out. Usually you'll gain muscle then start losing fat.
