    Its probably related to DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Drink plenty of water and keep pushing working out. You will lose and remember the scale lies. I would rely more on how your clothes fit or take pictures so you can see the change. The scale will fluctuate constantly.

    I'm really confused.

    So you gained weight when you did Jillian for 2 weeks (probably water weight combined with inaccurate logging), quit exercising and lost weight after 3 weeks (lost water weight and perhaps a change in logging habits)?

    Any time you start a new workout routine, especially a relatively strenuous one when you were pretty sedentary before you began, your body will flood your muscles with water to repair them. After you get more used to working out, the water should come off, resulting in weight loss if you're eating at a calorie deficit.

    How are you measuring and logging your food? The diet will be the major determining factor in whether or not you lose weight, no matter what exercise plan you choose.
