Gaining weight

I have been following the calorie counting closely and exercised 6/7 days the first week. I lay 1.1 the first 2 days, but after a week I just weighed in and have gained and am now a pound heavier tan when I started. Did this happen to anyone else?

Could be that you are just holding up fluids because of the change in your eating/exercising habits. How much calories are you eating now?0

Probably averaging around 1600 after exercise. I am allowed 1800 for 1 lb/week, but I thought that was too many so I'm trying to do less. I'm averaging a burn of 250 cal per workout.0

it is common to see an increase in water weight when you change your exercise routine, muscles retain water as part of recovery

you cant tell much from a week, keep it up for a month, weigh a few times a week and track the TREND, your weight will fluctuate and that is perfectly normal. If you do not see any success after a month then come back and ask for advice with an open diary.

Thanks. I know a week isn't long enough, but with the Change in what I'm eating and the exercise, it's hard to believe I haven't lost weight. Hopefully, next week will be a different story.0
