When I started my weight loss journey I lost 4 lbs when I added a trainer( last friday) and MFP I gained 7 lbs overnight (last Sunday) and it hasn't come back off! Why did I have the gain and why won't it come off?

    it hasnt come off-in 3 days???!!!

    My guess is salt intake.... or if you have done a lot of exercise or started lifting then water round the muscles to help them repair-if youre a lady then hell I can put on 7 pounds easily the week before TOM....

    Um my advise is stick with it and dont expect miracles to happen within a few days. Follow MFP, exercise, drink plenty of water and weigh yourself once a week. Simple.

    Are your muscles really sore after working with the trainer? I find when mine are sore, I weigh more ...very similar to the poster above me's comment.


    Weigh yourself once a week and relax....weight loss is not a straight line. It looks more like the stock market

    Unless you ate a surplus of 24,500 calories you know it's not fat.
