ARGHHHHHHHH!
I am really frustrated right now. My weight has steadily increased the past two weeks. And I don't understand why. My food imtake hasn't changed. My exercise has gone up if anything. But so has my weight and measurements!
Where am I going wrong?

It might be temporary water weight from inflammation caused from the extra exercise. "Because inflammation is characterized by fluid retention within and between the muscle cells, [Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness] is often accompanied by a weight gain of up to 5 pounds or more. When the fluid is flushed from your system, your weight returns to its pre-exercise value. According to exercise scientists at the University of New Mexico, swelling usually disappears completely within 10 days."1

Increased exercise can cause an increase in water retention, that's temporary. Other causes include (but not limited to) increased sodium, TOM, and pregnancy.1
