    Hi FuzzBuzz4,
    It could be water retention, or muscle. Don't be discouraged. You might gain a little at first because your body is adjusting and you are adding muscle when you work out. I was stuck on a plateau for a month and I finally upped my calories by 200 and my work out by 15 minutes more a day and finally this week I had a loss. It just takes some time. Make sure you are eating all of your calories and getting your exercise in. It will make a difference. Also measure yourself. You may not be losing pounds but you could be losing inches. Hang in there! It will come off!:flowerforyou:

    hey fuzzbuzz4!

    I too have those same concerns. But I did notice that I lost inches from my thighs and waist. The numbers mean ALOT to me, but reading the other comments helps me out. I've even gained some friends to get encouraging words from this site and to vent my issues to. I'm trying to stay positive I get discouraged easily! I do know that the first week of working out one can gain weight do to increased activity. I'll stay positiove for you, you stay positive for me...DEAL?:flowerforyou:
