everyday my face is bigger

actvmnd26 Posts: 1 Joined: 2008/03/02	2008/03/02, 06:55 PM Ive been working out for two weeks now, lost a few pounds, i weighed 135 when i started working out, im 26 and im 5'4. so i wasnt very over weight, i just need to increase my cardio and tone up. i dont drink but a glass a wine here and there, i dont smoke or do any drugs, recreational or prescription. I eat very lean healthy meals, when i snack its like carrots, or ill drink a tall glass of water and have helping of light popcorn. My problem is that since i started working out, even though my scale says i lost weight, everyday my face is getting bigger. and im not the only one to notice. i look like i gained fifty pounds. my face is swollen in the cheeks, around my eyes, and around my mouth, if you look at pictures of me from two weeks ago, i actually look many many pounds lighter. Not to mention that im not feeling so good about myself, why is this happening. im hoping if i continue to work out the swelling will go down. but ive never heard or read of this happening to someone. help
