    It's most likely water weight

    probably water weight from the increased activity.

    make sure your logging is accurate and that youre not eating back too many exercise calories

    How long have you been 'gaining' for?

    Iam not too sore from the exercises..so would it be water weight still? What I want to know is- is it a good idea to do both JM program and my 15k step everyday for my weight loss strategy?? My main aim of starting Jillian michaels 30 day shred is to lose 10 lbs by mid oct..but if I can't lose weight then I need to reevaluate my plan...thanks for all your replies

    I agree. Weight gain usually stalls when the body starts a new exercise. I bet you'll have a drop in a week.

    Try using a measuring tape as I never meet a scale that always told the truth

    I have my body measurements today and I will check at the end of30 day shred program..hope I lose inches and weight too..though ppl say to go with measurements not sure why I get obsessed with the number on the scale
