I weighed myself today and found that after my first week of eating healthy and my second week of going to the gym for 1 hour 3x a week, I have put 2 lbs on.
To be honest I do find it hard to believe...
I'm thinking it must be 1) Muscle 2) Water.
Has anyone else ever experienced weight gain due to muscle so early on?
I'm not going to let it get my down though, I will try for another week and see what happens. At least I can feel myself getting fitter!
Also, I'm going to start WW today! So at least then I will be sure that its not my diet affecting my weight gain.

Hi.
I am not an expert but have been on the boards awhile now. This is what happens to me I get very swollen ankles and i retain the water. Do you eat salted nuts or just like salt? Well anyway I think you are retaining water.

Good for you for joining WW!
The TOM thing that ladyIrish pointed out can definetly be the cause of the 2 lb gain, as well as muscle gain. Try watching your sodium intake, and see if that helps. Good luck at weight watchers!
Hi Leah,
Please don't get discouraged or fluctuations in weight will drive you off the deep end.

I have to say I completely understand.......See my frustrated post. LOL
I too didn't lose where I really should have, but here I am, down .2 lbs maybe more as I was still swollen when I weighed. I am going to weigh again in the morning and I have a decent feeling cuz after eating and everything, I weighed last night at 255.2 so hoping that means at least 252. GOOD LUCK getting past this. It makes it so hard to stay on track when you don't see results and I completely sympathize with you on it.

Thanks all for the support.
I did not realise sodium can make you retain more water, so I'll definitely try cutting that down!
Not done too well today with the food - I went to the seaside and ate biscuits, but hopefully I'll wear it all off tomorrow!
Take care everyone xx
