Why am I gaining weight?

I don't have you added so I can't see your diary but someone mentioned above that you have a high sodium intake. Try to cut back on that and drink a lot more water -- 8 8oz servings a day. You should drop some water weight.

Also, if you've done the same workout routine for the past month, you need to switch it up. You probably have some muscle memory going on. A routine is only good for a few weeks before your body gets used to it and it's no longer effective. And remember that you need to replace what you sweat out when you work out (with water, not Gatorade or anything like that). Not drinking enough water on a normal day is one thing, but not drinking enough when you work out is just asking to be dehydrated and bloated.

^^ I've been weight lifting every other day for a month and a half and doing at least 30 min of cardio a day and haven't gained any weight back. I'm a newbie at this but muscle conversion doesn't quite work like that.

You aren't consistently logging, or some days, you have 1.5 meals...

Your sodium is high.

You said you aren't sure about how much water you are drinking - I say the gain is from the sodium.

Are you weighing and measuring everything you eat?

NONSENSE. Ridiculous, against the guidelines, bulls*it. a) 1 week does not constitute a plateau. b) just no. no. no. no. NO.

OMG! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If you have no medical issues then your body cleanses itself quite well without crazy fad diets!

Try this calculator to find your TDEE: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/

Just be honest about your activity. (And this is set so you don't have to track or eat back your exercise calories - too easy!!!)

1200 is much to low for most people without a medical reason. I lose at 1900 per day. (2200 is my TDEE.)

Best of luck.

Looking over your food diary I would add more fresh fruit to your diet and cut back on the sodium. Like other posters have said, sodium can make you bloat and thus not lose weight on the scale. I have the kind of body that needs to constantly be doing something different. I vary my cardio daily and can't eat the same thing everyday or my body just doesn't budge at all. When I did WW a few years ago I would have weeks like that. I would lose weight and then nothing and then lose more again. You just have to keep with it and not give up

But sodium does not effect FAT loss. The scale isn't always a good representation of anything, visuals are. Take photos and measurements weekly. Fresh fruit doesn't make someone lose fat, either.

weight will always fluctuate, and for on week being above what you were before is not an issue, its when you get to 3-4 weeks and nothing has changed or its going up still.

Are you gaining muscle? It's heavier than fat by the pound.

No, just no.
