Two weeks and gained weight!

After a winter of pure gluttony I decided it was time to get on track. I have been in a deficit and working out daily for two weeks. I have gained 2 pounds! Clearly the whole calorie in / calorie out model doesn't work for me. Seriously demotivating.
You probably have lost weight but you have gained muscle. Do your clothes fit better?0 -

Not everyone loses water weight at first. Like I said and other people have said, your weight naturally fluctuates, often from hour to hour. Until you have data points across a longer period of time than 2 days or even 2 weeks, you can't draw any meaningful conclusions.
NO, I most clearly did NOT. I know that usually when you start a new diet, you lose a lot of waterweight at first. That he GAINED must mean that he probably lost water and gained a lot of fat. Like, 5 lbs. rather than the 2 on the scale.
Oh, so I DID lose 1.5 pounds of fat.
In two days? No.
This was a really rude response. This is a place of motivation and support. Please refer to USCMP's Guide To Being A Better Person Than Everyone Else.
Only if you read it as rude. Maybe you shouldn't expect the worst in people?
It's not physically possible to lose 1.5lbs of fat in two days.
Tsk. This doesn't seem very supportive to me at all and now you're trying to act like the rudeness is all in other people's heads rather than own up to bring mean.
You're right! I'm such a bi**h!
Pretty sure using symbols to get around the filter is against the CG(all hail)*. Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with them in order to become a more supportive and friendly member of these forums.

Typical bully behavior. Try to convince the victim that it's their own fault. It's disgusting, isn't it?0 -

Maybe not for you it isn't, but I believe in Otter.
Perhaps you just need to work a little harder at it.0 -

Agree. Victim blaming is truly appalling behavior; the actual worst. So what if some people are more sensitive than others, does that mean that their feelings and what they feel is rude aren't valid?
Just awful.

And it sounds like that hard work really paid off. Losing 1.5 pounds of fat in two days isn't bad progress at all. Just shows that those who work hard are rewarded with results.0 -
I'm sorry about that man...people can be really mean around here sometimes...I'm here to support you buddy...
Have you tried the lemonade cleanse or whatever...heard that's pretty good...especially if you add vodka.0 -

Weight loss is surprisingly complex. In this case I could see where excessive cardio could be causing your muscle to become fat. More than 30-45 minutes of cardio a few days a week is just going to mess with your body comp.

At least that's what I've read in the MFP forums.
I've also read that this high of an exercise burn is an indication of an eating disorder. Perhaps you should consider seeking professional help?0 -
maybe your estimated caloric intake was overestimated. cals in vs cals out definitely works.0

This is turning out to be quite complex - if only there was a place where you could get information like this in a supportive and understanding manner.0 -

Clearly you have no idea what "calorie in / calorie out" means.
