After doing this for about a week with working out 5 days a week including a personal trainer staying under calorie count by just a little, I gained 6lbs and I just now feel helpless

    Not at all unusual to gain a lot of weight after beginning a strenuous exercise regiment. Your muscles swell with water as they repair themselves.

    And a week is much too little time to see long-term trends; your week-to-week weights are more influenced by water balance than by any change in fat.
