Are you saying I should concentrate more on calorie burn exercise for now, to lose weight first? And about the 250-300 cal deficit per day, do you mean I should eat no more than 250 or I should reduce 250 more than I normally eat?

Yes, I know that... I know it can't be muscle so the fact that I'm gaining is freaking me out...

Yes, my clothes are tighter....... That's why I kinda freak out.... Actually I also quite happy with my weight before I went to the gym. I was intended to lose a just a few more, like you said, to account probable weight gain. But instead I gain more before I can lose any :( I think I,m not undereating since I don't feel…

It's true that I don't use heart rate monitor and so on. When I put in my calorie intake in the diary I actually always pick the biggest calorie possible from the food I eat but choosing the lowest calorie burn possible from my exercises. But may be I need to watch even more..... Thank you for your advice!
