How to lose the weight

camilafb4820

Hi
I’m 2 weeks into my fitness journey. I weigh 144 lbs and I have been exercising almost every day and eating well. I checked today and I gained a pound. My goal is to lose 25 lbs but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Welcome! Two weeks isn't much time, and if your exercise is new, your muscles might still be holding on to some water weight to repair themselves, which can mask fat loss on the scale.
