So I've hit the gym four times a week. I do at least 40 minutes cardo and the rest weights. I weighed myself last week Saturday i was 43kg and now Im 43.6kg. Its got me pretty down. I keep hearing ive lost weight but I dont see it on the scales. I spoke to my gym instructor and they said its cause Im doing more weights and thats why my weight would increase.

Im 147cm and at the moment I'm 43.6kg size 8, I use to be a size 14/12.

Its getting me down and its annoying cause my stomach area is my problem :(
Anyone have any ideas what I could do..?

    I experience the EXACT same thing every time I start a new or different workout program. It WILL pass and you WILL see results. Just keep doing what you're doing and weigh again in a couple of weeks. You'll like what you see. I promise!

    Your food diary is private, so it's hard to make suggestions.

    relax and step away from the scales, Seriously scales cause so much pain!!! its only .6 could be water weight, muscle weight poop weight lol , digi scales, gym scales, manual scales are all different, go by the way your clothes fit or take measurements.

    Lets do the math.
    If to gain a weigh one consumes more calories than they burned, but you know this isn't true for you, then the weight is something else........almost always water. All normal people have a cycle of retaining and releasing water.

    Weight fluctuates throughout the day up to three to five pounds. It could be that you weighed yourself in different times of the cycle, even if it was the same time on the same day of the week. The weight could be from a variety of things, including extra sodium the day before, water weight, gained muscle. I agree with the rest and start taking measurements as well, chances are you'll get good news weekly either through measurements OR the scale.
