    I agree that you arent eating enough. You are working out hard...you need to fuel your body. It probably thinks that you are starving! Don't get pissed, just keep at it, eat enough, drink lots of water...and your hard work WILL pay off! Hang in there.

    2 weeks is not enough to judge. I can easily gain a few pounds by eating a lot of salt or being a little backed up.

    Eat your calorie allowance, even if you do it as a weekly target and go over and under on some days. If you are working out, your body needs fuel. Also, a couple of pounds is likely to be water; if you are working your muscles they will cling on to water whilst they recover. Keep going :flowerforyou:

    Umm... you just joined the gym 2 weeks ago. Let's have a little patience, shall we. And you need to eat more, as others have said. Giant deficits aren't better than small deficits. Set your goals to 1 pound a week-- or less. It's much more realistic.

    You need to eat more if you're working out hard on a daily basis.. And give it some time.

    Have you considered that you're holding onto water to heal your muscles? I'm sure it's not real weight gain. Sometimes when we go hard our muscles need to heal and they hold onto fluids. :) Hang in there. Try adding a protein high snack after working out to up the calories and healing process. Chocolate milk is an easy way.

    Thanks for posting this. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I have been having the same issues, and for the life of me I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm so frustrated! I do know that muscle weighs more than fat, and you are likely building muscle. But at some point the fat is supposed to come off, right?!

    I know better than to be so impatient, but we're doing a "biggest loser-style" contest at work and everyone has lost weight but me. It's just frustrating because from listening to what they're all doing, I'm working 10x harder. It just sucked to be the one with the weight gain at weigh-in...

    You're not eating enough so therefore when you do eat enough your body is holding onto it because it was in starvation mode. Eat more (eat clean of course) and keep working out. Also, try drinking half your body weight in water.
