just started ab exercises and gained weight

Options
ok I want to lose weight, but since I started doing ab exercises, I have gained nearly 2 lb. Doesn't sound much. Am I panicking too much, or should I eat less ? I am 6' 2" and weigh 15 stone 8. I want to get to 14 stone 7. Thanks for your advice, Ian.

    How recently? and are you sore? If you're really working the muscles, they will retain fluid for repair. It will pass.

    I have only been doing them a week. Only sore immediately after the exercise as not used to it. I am using the runtastic six pack abs app, on easy mode, as I needed a day by day guide to build up the exercise. However I still want to lose weight.
