Expect a gain or maintain even if you have been in a calorie deficit! I even sometimes will retain water around my ovulation time too. Our scale weight will be up and down due to *natural* fluctuations. I promise this is not fat gain, its water retention. Even if youve been calorie counting and stayed within cals it may happen! #caloriecountinguk #daretowintroops #realisticweightloss #caloriedeficit #losingweight
