Working out - but putting on weight?

Hello all!

I've just started getting back into fitness after a prolonged period of being a lazy bum. I've started doing a bootcamp alongside a body pump class.

I've managed five workouts between last wednesday and today - two bootcamps, one bodypump class, half hour of kettlebells at home and 90 minutes of a Yogalates DVD. But I seem to have put on 2lbs!

Any idea why? I've been eating well and within my TDEE.

Help!

    Ah - thanks Stef. Will this even itself out when my body gets used to it, or am I not hydrating enough?
