    This is exactly what I was looking for. I started MFP a few weeks before joining my gym (so I wasn't working out *at all*) and I lost about 10 lbs in those 2 weeks just by modifying my eating habits. In the last week or so since I've started working out I've lost just under a pound. And I'm eating my exercise calories, as well as increasing my protein accordingly, so I couldn't figure out why things changed all of a sudden. Thanks so much for the information!

    Bump!

    I started spinning a month ago and I have gained weight! So frustrating, but in the same token...I have noticed I am retaining SO much water! This makes sense. I will keep this and review again in a few weeks. Came back to MFP in order to monitor my calorie intake as well as my sodium, so we shall see.....I am burning 600+ calories atleast 5 days a week with spinning or the eliptical....so we shall see =)

    Totally needed this today. Same thing happening to me. Started out lifting weights more faithfully this month. No loss on scale and slight gain instead since last week. So disheartening to see the scale go up after all that hard work lifting and doing cardio. Used to lose more while doing just cardio but know that lifting is the way to go.

    I will keep up with the weights tho...I enjoy lifting! I can already see more definition in my calves, thighs and biceps. Just wish they weren't so jiggly yet ;)
