    I honestly only gained about 2 pounds over the past 2 weeks. Which is the time period which I started doing body weight exercises.
    Honestly, it probably isn't that big of a deal and I probably just got a little over-frustrated this morning when I weighed myself. And I also think that it may be getting close to my time of the month, so that could have something to do with it too, right?

    Yes, and if you're just starting strength training you could also be retaining water from that. 2 pounds is nothing to worry about. :wink:

    Absolutely. I've seen a ton of people say that you gain anywhere from 2 to even 10 pounds from water retention at your TOM, and combined with cravings and things, but if you stick to it, over the week afterward you should lose everything you gained (body letting go of the water) and then some.
