Why would I gain? Help advice

Laurenmiller89

So I have been eating 1200 calories a day and exersising daily...my workouts and getting longer and more intense and I don't do the same thing everyday. I lost 5 pounds last week (my first week) and I got on the scale today and I gained 2 pounds! I just weighed my self yesterday and it was two pounds less. I am using the same scale and wearing the same amount of clothes. Why would I gain weight?

Thanks! That really explained it well and I will keep going and be more motivated just to see those pounds fall off in the next few weeks!
