First Week Weight Gain

halik36

Gained 2.9lbs during my first week, but I'm not discouraged or disappointed. My clothes fit a little better. I raised my workout regime. I think that's probably the reason for the weight gain. Feedback please

Nah, that would just be water retention from increasing exercise.

Totally normal for increasing exercise and will likely go away quickly. If your logging is accurate, just keep on with what you're doing.
By accurate I mean using weights for foods and correct entry selection.

Congrats on not letting the scale play mind games. Yup, water retention after a workout happens and can mess with the scale. Feeling of clothing is one thing to go by. You could also take measurements, and/or progress pictures. I find those tell a better story.

I prefer the pics. I have taken them from three angles wearing the same clothes. Really obvious difference.
