    Normal. It's water retention from starting exercise. Will go away after a couple of weeks of CONSISTENT exercise.

    Also remember, when you first start exercising your body is burning fat and gaining muscle =)

    Building muscle!!! This is a good thing, muscle burns calories faster, so in a couple weeks you'll see even faster results, keep up the good work!

    are you eating enough???? your body will hold on to everything when you start exercising if you dont feed it...... make sure you are providing enough fuel for your body...

    sometimes you can lose inches but weight the same maybe should also measure your body inches as well so you not get discouraged by the scale
