The same thing happened to me, having just finished STS Meso 1. I have body scan scales and my muscle mass increased every week for the month.

So... You're not alone!!

Love your analogy

If your clothes are looser, then you are heading in the right direction. Please do not let the number on the scale discourage you...it cannot tell the difference between fat and muscle.

This is why I don't own a scale at home.

I own a scale but don't put much stock into it...it is far more accurate for me to go by the fit of my pants.
