    You might be creating muscle, especially in your legs, with the cardio...which would create 'weight gain', but masking true fat loss. Honestly what is more important is fat loss. When you begin working out, and breaking and rebuilding muscle fibers, since muscle weights more than fat, you might experience weight gain. Don't give up..it's just been a week. This is a lifelong journey....so take it easy, keep doing the right things, don't weigh too often and try to invest in a body fat anaylzer..

    You can't gain 2 lbs of muscle in a week. It is liikely water. Cut carbs a little, stay away from packaged and processed foods, drink lots of water, and eat plenty of fresh vegetables and the water should drop off in a few days. Keep eating at a deficit and the weight should start to drop off in a few weeks.
