Hey, all!
I started this excitement last week, and have faithfully tracked and stayed within my calorie allottment and hit my excercise goals, but have GAINED 3 LB! This was not in the plan at all!! What am I doing wrong?!
Is this normal?! HELP ME!

Honey, 3 pounds could be simply water weight! Or ( assuming you are a woman by the Mrs. before your name) it could be the monthly hormone rush us woman get.
Do NOT get discouraged, please! I get stuck for a week or so and lose nothing. Then I go down a pound . Then it sticks, then down. I think if you keep it up, for WAY more than a week, make this a lifetime and lifestyle change, then you WILL see the results. It is simple math! Those 3 pounds PLUS will go! I promise!
Good luck on your journey!

It is more than likely water weight. Up your water intake and the scale will probably move next time you get on it. It's a gradual process and sometimes our body goes into shock when we first start fueling it with the right things. Hang in there. :-)
