My body weight isn't going down...

[oxygen434]

I'm 6 weeks out from my figure comp. In the past I'm used to dieting and seeing my body weight go down about one lb per week -but I've never done aas before. With this contest I'm doing my first cycle of anavar (I've been on it for about 2 weeks now). My body weight is not going down, in fact I've gained 2lbs!!! -Believe me I do not cheat on my diet...and I've been hitting the cardio hardcore. Everyone says I look like I'm leaning out though. Is it normal to maintain/gain weight like this while on anavar??? I'm just worried Im not doing something right :-/

Your putting on muscle while losing fat.
Throw away the scale and just use the mirror!

thank you! anavar is the shit!

yeah babe, that's body composition. You're gaining muscle, and at the same time, your muscles are holding extra water. Fat is probably burning out at an even higher rate than it naturally does.

Remember that competitions is about how your muscles look (only males go buy scale), judges are going to see that... if you look good now, it does not matter how much you weight

im the same way when when im on a "cutting cycle" with my genetics my fat gets replaced with muscle pretty evenly its kinda crazy..... but now that you see how your body reacts when on a "cutting diet" its so fun to see what happens when you play with your carbs on the offseason when on a cycle

This thread is making me want to take something. That, the nice weather, and not having great abs.

i thought i'd post my body stats and diet too just to make sure everyone thinks i'm on the right track...i'm a female 24 y/o...5'6"...120lbs...bodyfat 13.5%...and im 6 weeks out from my comp.
diet: 1350cals, 110g carbs, 160g protein, 30g fat
i plan on dropping my carbs to 100g at the 4 week mark. i'll start my carb depleat 7 days out, and carb up the morning of my show (i don't require a big carb up, i fill out very quickly)
so how does that look? any changes???
