    I was just sad I gained weight.

    It can take up to 4-6 weeks to see results with a new exercise regimen. Though most do in 2-3 weeks. Micro tears in your muscles will cause inflammation which causes water to rush into those areas to help heal them. You are gaining results, but you may not see them for awhile. Once your body adjusts to your new routine, it will settle down but it doesn't mean it will be linear. You could lose no weight for two weeks then that very next week drop 6 lbs. (Then gain it all back during THAT time of the month) only to drop it plus 2 more when it's all over. (This all depends on how much you are aiming to lose per week. This example is extreme.. 2 lbs a week). It all averages out in the long run.

    The longer you have remained sedentary, the longer it can take for your body to adjust to its new environment.
