Must just be your diet ,my ankels swell and I get distended belly when. I diet hard you should be fine esp with your bp numbers they are very healthy
Ah no worries
Every pound of body weight that you lose during training is equivalent to 16 ounces of sweat loss. Another easy conversion is one kilogram weight lost is equal to 1000 ml of sweat. -credit to iron man Web page
Make sure you add back in the water consumed during exercise
Other forms of water loss are negligible
Track it for a few day's get a trend and you will know right away
It's also a great way to track your hydration during contest prep

Haven't read most of the posts here; but after my last 4 month diet (severe caloric restriction and lots of cardio, 0 cheat days or refeeds) I went on a massive binge that lasted a bit. After 2-3 days of binging I was holding OVER 12lbs of water. My hands, legs, and ANKLES were ALL swollen.
I went to the hospital to get checked out because I was thinking it's probably kidney issues (was running dnp at 250/day) or heart failure. Got all checked, and all looked perfect.
They cleared me out with no explanation other than your body's just in shock. I dropped the GH and went low carb for 1 week. Dropped all the water.
Severe ankle swelling, even if blood work is fine, means your kidneys are sustaining some damage (it make take time for the problem to manifest)
OP sounds like you are fine.
But, I want to dispel the fallacy that severe water retention in the ankles is "normal". Doesn't mean you are going into kidney failure or anything, but I would suggest reevaluating your dosages and compounds.
One avenue you could explore....I bet your big cheat meals were loaded with sodium.
Maybe you screwed up your sodium/potassium levels. Do you track the amount of sodium you take in on your normal diet?
Maybe try lowering your sodium intake and increasing your potassium intake....and see if the water starts to drop.
