I went from 286lbs to 246lbs just with diet. Then I started going to the gym and using this site and FitBit. I do low impact aerobics M-W-F cardio and strength training 6 days a week. The first 3 weeks I wasn't using this or fitbit and lost 13lbs. The past 4 weeks I've been using this and fitbit together and the first 2 weeks lost nothing and this week went up 3lbs. I have the negative cal on for fitbit and I always end the day 500 to 1500 cal left over. The more I workout, the more my cal goes up, but I don't max out the cal intake all the time. Every night I end the day it says I will be 10lbs sometimes 20lbs less in 5 weeks. So why am I not losing and now going up?

    Muscle weights more than fat. Check your body fat percentage. Its dropping.

    Yah no

    Is this new exercise? if it is you are probably retaining water/glycogen to help repair the muscles.

    YOu should be eating back some of your exercise caloreis..50-75% to fuel your next workout and aid in the repair of the muscle.

    Only other thing would be you are eating more than you think....do you use a kitchen scale to weigh your food?
