    I gained three pounds when I first started exercising regularly (mostly weight lifting). I'm hoping it's added muscle. >_>

    If you haven't done strength training in a long time or are just starting, you will GAIN weight. This is normal as you body adjusts to retain water for muscle repair and glycogen starts filling the muscle and liver for future anticipated workouts. It usually lasts for about 2 weeks and then weight loss continues if you stay on calorie deficit.
