The increase in weight from newly working out isn't inflammation and microtrauma, it's sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. The internal fuel stores are being expanded. It's glycogen which is 75% water, 25% glucose. It's more of a sedentary to nonsedentary adaptation. I lift 3x a week and run 3x a week and my weight is uncorrelated with workouts or soreness(microtrauma) 

Thanks, So Much BS. My post was just an idea, and I wondered if there were people who had good sources of information. It seems that most things presented in the fitness community and even by academics are simply hypothesis - not fact. We hear a lot about muscle weight when muscle mass is actually increased. In effort to get out of a weight loss plateau, I have increased brisk walk averaging from 6 km day up to10 km, with with intermittent jogging (150 meters a time) and also more climbing (on Sunday my Fitbit showed 151 flights of stairs). With a significant decrease calories and relatively recent but persistent increase exertion, it is puzzling why still no change after a 2 weeks in weight. Microtrauma is indeed small tears in the muscles, not only soreness. in response to damage, as know when we seriously sprain or break a bone, is that fluid rushes to an area causing inflammation. There is no point using personal experience, but it makes one think a bit about damage and regrowth of muscle tissue. 

Lol that's why I picked the name so much bs. It's everywhere. Most times to get through a stall all you have to do is wait.A large drop normally follows. Ive stalled for 3 weeks before. Check this out. http://berzinatorfitnessdesigns.com/how-to-deal-with-stalls-and-whooshes/  

I found my muscles now this morning after another quite heavy day where I have tracked 21 km on my fit bit. I will try to be patient. I am looking for a complete lifestyle change. I don't want to be the roly poly, cute and comfy grandma who feeds you cookies. I don't want to wear out any more sofas. I want to be fierce and lean and ready for any challenge. In elegant Elfin-like fashion, I will unwrap my packet of buckwheat pancakes, and pass them with great care to my grand-daughter when we are hiking in the forest. OK, maybe not an elf. I lively hobbit. Right now I seem to be heading for fierce dwarf.
