Im gaining weight!!!!?????

Can you open your diary for us to help make suggestions?

The weight isn't the only way to know if there's any change. You should also measure yourself and see if you've lost inches, and you could know by how your clothes fit. It could be that you've gained muscles and lost fat, which mean you'd weigh more.

Be patient,it takes time.I gained before I lost too. There are alot of factors,could be muscle,water retention,lactic acid buildup from working out.Don'T just focus on the scale,get your measurements.Maybe give yourself an off day from exercise,7 days a week is alot.Keep the faith,you are doing fine.:)

Measure in months, not weeks.

have you pooped?

How long have you been doing wt training? If you are just starting a program you may gain a few pounds before the scale starts going down. You will be building muscle so the scale is not an important gage if you are seriously pushing your max on wt limits. You should go by how your clothes are fitting.

Also, are you getting enough to eat through out the day. No eating enough calories while working out as hard as you are will cause the body to hold onto whatever you do eat. Make sure you dont cut yourself short here.

It's only been a week.

exactly.

Agreed with heluvarn, don't short yourself on your calories. Also, muscle is denser than fat, so you could be losing fluffy fat while gaining muscle - the scale would be misleading at that point. Lastly, as EVERYONE else said, it's only been a week! LOL
Relax and good luck, sounds like you're doing all the right stuff.

Everything everyone has already stated is valid and should be heeded. If it's only been 1 week, that could be anything. Absolutely anything.

For me, I went 4 months going up and then down the same 6 pounds and I was mostly eating at or under my calories... not always. But I was eating pretty clean and trying to eat as raw as possible... and that is what it looks like was my issue. I was not paying attention to the other nutrients besides the macros, and to be honest I was not even worrying about those too much because I was "sort of" following a book titled Eat to Live... just eat without worrying about calories, etc.... I was weighing and calculating calories but not taking note of any of the other nutrients.

I ate a lot of fruit. Sugar. Sugar. Sugar. For me that seems to be an important part of the equation. As soon as I started to rein sugar in and put it into more manageable numbers, the 6 pounds I was fighting with came off PLUS another half a pound. And now it has been 3.5 weeks and I've lost another half a pound.

So for ME, it seems like it was sugar. Natural, fruit sugar. (love those dates and figs!!!!! and mangoes!!!!!!)

For you, it may be just that it has been only 1 week and there are so many different things that could be working here that would cause the scale to go up ... relax... keep doing what you're doing and look at it again in another 3-4 weeks... then if you're still having issues, tackle one possibility at a time because you won't know what it was if you change 3 or 4 things at a time.

I found that when I first started trying to lose weight that it seemed to take forever to lose a pound or two. Once I hit my goal, same thing- if I veered off track, it was difficult to get back to that weight. Some of the things that I have found helpful:
1. Drink more water - simple, but I have found that if I drink about 100 oz a day of water, I feel fuller (ie no overeating) and help keep myself hydrated. A hydrated body is a body that is more willing to shed lbs...
2. Carbs..... I lived in Europe so I'm not a carb-hater. But something that I have found is that if I eat my carbs earlier in the day and keep dinner to the basics of a protein and some veggies, it helps. Track your food for a week and see what you are eating last in the day and how it correlates to your morning weigh-in.
3. Working out - I have found that this can be a double edge sword. Working out is great, weight lifting burns more calories for a longer period of time and can give you more dramatic results faster. But working out does burn a lot of calories which can make you hungrier and cause you to "cheat" a little here and there because "you deserve it". Make sure to drink plenty of water before, during and after a workout to stay hydrated and also avoid overeating right after a workout.

Often times, we assume that we are hungry when we are actually dehydrated. A little trick that helped me lose 50 lbs and also keep it off for 3+ years is to drink plenty of water, stay away from processed foods and to remember that we literally are what we eat. Reward yourself by enjoying your food, indulging in healthy food that makes you feel good (not guilty) and know your limits. If you are tempted by sweets, don't deprive yourself. But don't surround yourself with temptations either.

Good luck!

Are you eating back your exercise calories!!!???
