    Exercise can cause small "tearing" in muscle, causing them to retain more water. What you're seeing on the scale is most likely a result of water retention as a result of increased exercise.

    This happened to me, too. During week 1, I lost 2 pounds (yay), during week 2, I gained 4 pounds (the 2 I lost and an additional 2). I was so bummed. However, at week 3, I lost 5. Try drinking more water and cut back on sodium. That seemed to help me.

    It took my body a good 2 weeks to get used to exercising, then I was able to drop pounds more quickly. Don't give up! It will be worth it!

    You didn't gain 4 pounds of fat in 3 days. Stop weighing yourself so often and keep doing what you're doing.

    Yesterday I weighed myself in the morning, and again at night just for fun. I had "gained" nearly five pounds.
    If you are gonna weigh so often, you have to be ok with seeing crazy fluctuations.
    Food in your stomach or bowels, water retention, etc

    You've gotta be patient!

    I am confused. You are doing bootcamp classes, yet have not exercised in a long time? I must have misread. As for gaining 4 lbs so fast, I doubt you have gained fat. Your a woman!! My weight fluctuates daily. But I am losing inches and toning, so I am not worried about it.
