How much water weight does test cyp Add?

[Tpz4sheezy]

So you can answer my question here is some info. I am 30 yr old with low test lvls. I am presc by my doc test cyp injections once every 2 weeks. It's been a week since my first injection. Also. I am dieting to lose weight. I am doing the nutrisystem diet. It's been working great. I have been avg 2lbs a week sometimes more. I've lost about 35lbs in about 4 months. This week I weighed myself and I actually gained a few ounces. I don't see how this is remotely possible with me only eating around 1700 cal A day and me walking 2x a day on most days and avg about 3 to 6 miles walked a day. This is the 1st week I didn't lose any weight. Is it a coincidence that it was the week after my 1st shot? Do you guys think it's water weight from retention? If it is how much water do you usually get from doing test and will it go away? It frustrates me because the scale is the only way I see my progress and it keeps me motivated seeing it weekly. I thought the test would help me lose weight not put it on. Please help me.

Man you need to can Nutrisystems quicker than you can pluck a bald chicken bald. Pay the money and get a nutritionist. I don't even know how much you weigh but i can assure 1700 cals is wayyyy tooo low.

What is your dose for your E2W injection? You should know that every two weeks is not often enough for test cyp, every week at least and many (myself included) inject twice a week.

On an effective TRT protocol you should see some great body composition changes, I wouldn't focus on the scale. I lost fat and gained muscle and ended up 20 lbs heavier, but I wasn't overweight before - just skinny fat.

A lot of the water gain comes from aromatization to estradiol... are you taking anything besides the testosterone shots?

Do you carry a lot of fat in the abdominal area? You might consider giving the testosterone a chance to work its magic with a clean diet of adequate protein. You might be cheating yourself out of the benefits you will get from TRT (especially early on) with your caloric deficit.
