So I'm wondering if I am gaining muscle at the same rate I am losing fat? If you exercise a lot does your body constantly retain water?
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated! I am starting to axe myself is the exercise worth it! although I do love it, I'd love to see the scales move too!
Thanks xxx
