    When I first started it, I gained too. I started looking stuff up about it. And its something about your body is trying to save your muscles, so they are inflamed or somethin. It's normal. lol

    Your muscles may be sore and when they are sore, they will retain water and it will be reflected on the scale.

    I think I read the same thing, as I had the same problem. When you start a high intensity workout, your muscles will retain water and swell to protect the muscle fibers. And of course, you will also most likely gain muscle, which we all know is heavier than fat. I found the post somewhere here on MFP....a good' ole search on the forums can provide with great post results and some people have put some great information out there!

    I'm so glad I read this post, because I did not have a good day today, I have been under my calorie goal 3 out of 5 days this week, I've worked out 5 days (twice on 3 of those days) and drank plenty of water, but my muscles were kinda sore all week, and when I got on the scale this morning it said I GAINED 3 pounds, I have been down and frustrated all day, but this gives a little more motivation to keep going
