[QUOTE="johndoesmith, post: 58296, member: 13404"] So you've gained 7.5 lbs in your first month of TRT? Stop obsessing over it, lol. It's not a big deal, and the only way to stop it, is to stop TRT. It's mostly water weight, glycogen, and some fat. Maybe a tiny bit of muscle but I doubt it. It's not a big deal, like you said, you can actually retain water now. 1 gallon of water is 8lbs. You're going to gain more weight probably, but think about it like this, now that you're at testosterone levels you should be at, so is your weight. It's where you would have been if you were eugonadal. After a while the weight will stop, and possibly even go down due to fat loss, but it's entirely possible that you recomposition so that you weigh more, but have more lean body mass, you'll notice this in your size, waist will decrease, shirt sleeves will be tighter, and weight will remain. You may end up cutting a new belt loop or not really liking the way your clothes fit anymore. For the first time in my life, I had to buy a suit, and the pants were really really tight around my mid thigh. I've never had trouble with getting pants to fit around my chicken legs, I've been thin my entire life, 5'8 130bs at 18, now I'm 5'8 160lbs? No matter what I could never gain weight. [/QUOTE]
