I'm keeping the faith but it's hard to wrap my head around the idea that it's okay to gain at first. Is anybody else in the same boat?

    Don't worry, a lot of people are/were in the same situation when they started with EM2WL.
    It's bloat, water, and probably some fat.

    Try to trust the process-I know it can be hard, but it will be so worth it, you will see.
    And the gain will subside at some point. Can not tell you though when, but it will!

    Hang in there, you are doing great!

    thats not so bad, it's primarily water and the body needs to adjust. I gained 11 in the first 1.5 weeks. For me no other gain and I am at week 6

    I am up 8 pounds in four weeks. Really hard to sit with that number, plus the added snugness of clothes. But I am sticking with it. I keep thinking of the advice that it is weight that would eventually be put back on with other weight loss plans any way. Just do it now and hope when cut time comes that it will come off as well as inches :)
