Feeling super frustrated!!! HELP

Don't get frustrated. Ok well that is not reasonable advice...so lets say after you take a moment to get frustrated (because it happens to everyone) take a moment to take a deep breath and stay focused on your goal. You have been eating well and now you have added weight training....you are on the right path. Unfortunately as hard as you are working, your body and the expectations of instant reward are not on the same path but just you wait. Next week you will lose the weight again (and slowly build the muscle).
In fact use your frustration to dig deep and push yourself during your work outs. Wait one week to weigh yourself (I know how hard that is...I had to take my scale out the bathroom) and you will see that you are having positive results. Trust me (I have had my angry Burger King temptations too) just hang in there

I've taken a look at your diary and you really aren't eating enough. You are way under your calorie goal every day.

I know how you feel. I had a 7 pound gain OVERNIGHT! It went away of course and it wasn't a true gain.

I wouldn't read to much into it. Go by how you feel!

Hi... stay away from weights... and do cardiovascular work outs.. weights will build muscle. Cardiovascular work outs will burn fat.. and drink green tea. It really works by increasing your metabolic rate.

When recovering from strength training your body will retain water as well. To repair, your body enables the inflammatory response to get more nutrients into the area. This happens a lot when you very first start tearing down and rebuilding muscle. It will even out as you continue.

I have read that you muscles retainer water, when you weight lift and change your exercise routine..

Make sure you are eating well to nourish your muscles !!

Dont give up!

and BK every once in awhile is OK!!!

It isn't muscle. You can't put on muscle that fast. However, you CAN have your muscles retain water to repair themselves and put on water weight that way (especially if you just started lifting). Ignore the scale and keep doing what you are doing. Don't self-sabotage.

bad advice
weights will help build muscle which burns more fat by just existing. a good routine of weight lifting and cardio is best.
women cant bulk up like men either - especially eating at a deficit. its just not possible without steroids and eating at a surplus and tons of other factors

^^^Listen! Women NEED, and I said NEED to do strength training in addition to cardio exercise. Cardio does burn a boatload of calories and it certainly keeps our heart, lungs, and all the parts of the CARDIOvascular system healthy. But, unless you want to be a bent-over old lady , you need to do weight-bearing strength training to keep your bones and muscular system as healthy as your heart and lungs!

And, who the hell cares if maintaining more muscle means you weigh a pound or two more? You will look HOT… better than if you're all mushy but a couple pounds lighter!!

NO, muscle does NOT weigh more than fat… omg… a pound = a pound. But, it is DENSER than fat and therefore takes up less VOLUME. Meaning, a pound of muscle looks better than a pound of fat! And unless you're a very unusual women.. meaning you have way more testosterone than normal… you are not going to "bulk up".

Please remember that inital weight lost (first week or two) is partially water weight but you started strong and had amazing results! Your body was doing what it was suppose to do and now what? I understand your frustration but what your friend said is partially true. You are breaking down and building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat (***is denser than fat***). The other part of this is weight training requires more protien. The protien will give you the calories and proper nutrients to rebuild that muscle. If you do not have enough of this in your diet your body will pull back and hold onto more calories so you have the energy to work out. PROBLEM: Carbs break down differently and are used differently in your body. So, body says "well, I can't use it now but I will save it for later.... " Hence some weight gain. A solution to your problem would be on weight training days aim for a protien/veggies diet, stay low carb for the whole day, especially after your workout. On your cardio days feel free to consume as you have been. Lots of water, of course! These changes should help. If it does not another thing to look at is your processed food consumption and sodium intake.
