Two weeks and gained weight!

Weigh yourself every morning (before you eat) with the lightest clothing you have. If I weigh myself during the evening I'm 187 which is 3lb lost.. When I consistently weigh myself every morning I'm 185 which is closer to the truth since I haven't eaten, had any fluids, and I'm in some really light pajamas.0

NO, I most clearly did NOT. I know that usually when you start a new diet, you lose a lot of waterweight at first. That he GAINED must mean that he probably lost water and gained a lot of fat. Like, 5 lbs. rather than the 2 on the scale.

This is is no way accurate. Like, at all. A 2lb weight gain can be natural daily fluctuations. The gain in weight can be from any number of factors. If he started a new workout routine, it is likely that he is retaining water for muscle repair. If he ate high sodium foods he could be retaining water as well. The only way he gained 2 pounds of fat is if he ate 7,000 calories over his maintenance.0 -
After a winter of pure gluttony I decided it was time to get on track. I have been in a deficit and working out daily for two weeks. I have gained 2 pounds! Clearly the whole calorie in / calorie out model doesn't work for me. Seriously demotivating.
Yeah... you're not doing it right.
Realign your expectations and realize *kitten* doesn't happen over night. If you worked harder at work for 2 weeks would you expect a raise at the end of those 2 weeks? He might notice and give you a pat on the back (loss of a couple of lbs) but he's not going to give you more money after 2 weeks. You have to work your *kitten* off for a year or longer until all that hard work pays off and he calls you into his office and goes "Thompson I wanna make you my partner" BOOOOM KAPPPOWWW those YEARS of hard work paid of ... not the first 2 weeks!! Keep your head up bud and keep putting in the work, eventually it will pay off.

OP, two weeks is not enough time to see a trend. Give it more time and, if you are still gaining/not losing, make adjustments.
ETA: spelling is hard sometimes.0 -

What? Because he gained 2lbs you think that means he gained 5lbs of fat??
That's not how this works.0 -
Not everyone loses water weight at first. Like I said and other people have said, your weight naturally fluctuates, often from hour to hour. Until you have data points across a longer period of time than 2 days or even 2 weeks, you can't draw any meaningful conclusions.

Don't eat back you exercise calories. Calories burned are a guestimate. Unless you are working out 8 hours a day (then of course you would have to eat more).0

In two days? No.0 -
Are you male or female? Age and weight and how tall are you? 3000 calories is a LOT of food.....Also, what are you doing to burn up to 1300 calories a day? I would not eat all of it back.....0

No. No you didn't.0 -
OP, I looked at one day on your diary, although you average 3000 cals per day anyways.... Over 1200 calories of cookies and candy in one day? Plus another 1600 plus calories in food? Very few people will lose weigh on that much.....0
