you need a new trainer IMO. Seems like this one is not keeping it real. Post up some pictures. I am sure we can tell you if its fat or water. You don't want a trainer that tells you something so that your don't stress out. If stressing out will keep your diet in line, than that is what you need. However, you may have simply not dieted soon enough. I still wouldn't pull out of the show just because you may not be bang on (unless you really are WAY off). You can at least learn from it...What show is it?
