I recently moved in with my boyfriend and his brother who leads an extremely fitness-focused lifestyle and works out. I gave up smoking a couple of months ago and since I've moved with these guys I have taken up exercising 30 mins per day. (Before this, I did not work out at all, would get out of breath simply walking up stairs, and went through phases of smoking more than I ate).
We also live on a very high, steep hill, which requires walking up and down it to get to the town center. Initially, the walking killed me, but I have been finding it easier and easier to get up it as the days have gone on.
I am 5 ft 4 and weighed 8 stone. I have gained around a stone in a few weeks! My belly feels bigger and podgier, but I feel much fitter and healthier. Although - I have not weighed this much since my early teen "puppy fat" years and can't help but worry I'll get bigger despite all of these very positive lifestyle changes. Is this normal? I don't want to have done all this only to get fat!
