    You're fine, that's nothing just water retention. Keep going and weigh again after a month or 2 of doing exactly what you're doing- you will have lost weight by then. Also start taking body measurements and tracking those along with weight.

    Great job!!

    Gains or losses of less than 1 or 2 pounds, measured on a bathroom scale, are essentially meaningless out of context. You can gain or lose a pound from being dehydrated vs. retaining water, from having your last meal take longer or faster to digest. You can't tell how things are going until you've got enough measurements over several weeks to see a trend.
