I used to weigh around 140 pounds before I started running. Now I'm closer to 160 pounds in a pretty short time of around a year. Is it possible I put on a lot more muscle mass when I ran? I usually hear stories of people losing weight when running, but it was backwards for me, and I'm just wondering why. Did this happen to any of you?
 
Yes. When I first start lifting weights and running when I haven't done either for a long period of time (about six months minimum) I gain weight at first, because I put on muscle so quickly. It takes a long period of regular exercise for the muscle growth to stabilize and, correspondingly, for me to start losing weight in the form of fat loss.

Are you getting flabby or getting more harder, leaner muscles?

I haven't put on much more fat, probobly a tiny bit, but now my heart rate is substancially lower and my endurance is a lot better. I used to have trouble running a mile now I can run 3 miles pretty easily.
 
Hehe yeah 140 lbs is rather lightweight ... how tall are you?

I think it's normal that you're gaining, since muscle is much heavier than fat. You're probably becoming fairly buff?

You were 140 pounds. Did you actually expect to LOSE weight?

Not really, I was expecting to stay around the same. My BMI is normal now, I was underweight before.
