how I couldve put on weight, what am I doing wrong?

Personally I think you are doing a perfect job, firstly how much do you weigh?
It might be your body, how much do you exercise a day? Whats your activity level set on here.

Are you weighing all your food and not estimating it.

195 calories for 15 minutes jogging does sound quite a bit, though not impossible by any means (can't guess whether it's correct or not without knowing your weight which your profile doesn't give) but it makes me wonder how are estimating the exercise calories that you're eating.

So Ive been really good the past two weeks and I somehow gained 3 lbs this week, I understand some of it could be water weight but I exercised a lot and you can even view my diary. My trainer told me I eat better than he does. I am eating my recommended calories for 1 pound a week and eating back my exercise calories. I realize its only a few weeks but the first weeks is when you tend to shed at least a few pounds. Can anyone help me out?

Are you sore from exercising? If you muscles are inflamed, you could be holding water. Some people have this problem but not everyone.

Also I want to share my story. Years ago when I began exercising, after six weeks I would stop because I always gained 14 to 15 pounds. Folks would comment about my weight loss and I would :noway: do one of these because my scales said otherwise. I would stop working out because it seemed futile. I asked the doc and I was told to cut down on my calories. But I had and I still gained weight. Feb of 2006 I began working out not to lose weight but to get control over my blood glucose numbers. Again I gained weight, again I got compliments and questions about my weight loss :huh: . I didn't see it but I continued because my blood glucose numbers began coming down. My motivation became not going blind, losing my toes and feet so I ignored the weight gain.

I worked my way up to 10,000 steps a day and within six months I dropped the extra 15 pounds and I continued on. I then picked up some exercise DVDs, Leslie Sanson, and soldered on with my numbers dropping even further, still no weight loss but I dropped three dress sizes and people wanted to know how I lost all that weight :yawn: I continued on and then I hit 3.5 years of daily walking, DVDing and then ... A two piece summer dress I had purchased one year before got pulled out of the closest because it was a hot day (mid-July). I put the skirt on over my head and the darn thing fell to the floor :noway: I ran to the scales and I had lost 35 pounds and I don't know when. It was somewhere between year 3 and year 3.5.

By the way I changed endocrinologists and found out I have Metabolic Syndrome. One of the "syndromes," one's body holds on to the fat cells for dear life. I was gaining muscle, which caused me to look thinner, but the fat was hanging on. Then one day the fat couldn't hold on anymore.

Also... how close to your period are you? Many women hold more water about 3 days before their period, and it will come off about 3 days after you begin the menses. It pays to keep this in mind when weighiing in, and you will notice it every month.

@ Jaybarboo,

Throw away the scale and rely only on measuring tapes and the mirror.

Keep at it! Sometimes this just does not make sense!!

^^^^^^^this^^^^^ without fail, the best indicator of my impending period is a gain of 2-3 pounds. Last week I had gained 2 pounds over the weekend, but by friday I had lost 3.5!

you could be building muscle, retaining water, idk. Lots of things. dont worry too much just keep doing what you are doing.
