30DS - Gaining weight?

I just completed day 4 of the 30DS today... I weighed myself this morning and I've gained 4 pounds! Now, I have a feeling this is normal - I have read of a few people giving up because they gain weight at the start. For people who experienced this, did that weight gain eventually come off? How long did it take? I'm not going to give up but it's a little bit disheartening!

    Yes! If you are sore it's water weight. Also, it could be extra sodium you ate, hormones factoring in, and a million other things. Just keep going!

    I gained 3 lbs, and on day 4, this morning, it was all gone... I'm pretty sure it was just water weight. You're also gaining muscle, while burning fat, so you'll lose inches, even if the scale isn't going down
