Weight Gain after starting new workout??

JAVAGIRLSS

I've done a lot of working out over the years (walking being my fav). However, recently I've been inspired to try some more toning so just started Jillian Michaels' 6w6p and have *gained* 2 1/2 lbs in 2 weeks!! Is this normal? I'm def eating calorie deficit and my clothes aren't getting tighter but the scale's just climbing!! What's going on?

most likely water retention for muscle repair. i wouldnt get alarmed over it.
