Lifting Weights And Gaining Weight? Fml!

Hey Guys,

So I am kinda stuck here.. I haven't lost any weight within the last 3 weeks. However I started lifting and working on P90x? I don't understand because I haven't lost anything but actually gained 2 lbs? Anyone else have the same thing happen to them? I did not measure myself which I should have.. I will start today..

Any suggestions or tips?

So I am kinda stuck here.. I haven't lost any weight within the last 3 weeks. However I started lifting and working on P90x? I don't understand because I haven't lost anything but actually gained 2 lbs? Anyone else have the same thing happen to them? I did not measure myself which I should have.. I will start today..

Tip: put away the scale. It will save you much frustration.

When I began working out in earnest I gained weight as have many here. However, my body size reduced and I began looking and feeling better and gaining strength.

So I quit working out because what the scale said meant more to me.

Kidding. :D

Amen, Gman! I haven't lost significant weight in several months, a pound here and there, but I've lost sizes in clothing, inches off my waist and hips, and I feel amazing! I work out with weights daily and spend 45 minutes on the elliptical at least 3 days a week. I've slowed down a lot due to issues with my gallbladder, but I'm not gaining weight and I'm still watching my body transform at 15 months out. I'll take it... forget the scale. The scale is a liar!

I did not have that happen, but what I do know is that you can experience water retention as you start up exercising. Don't worry about it, those aren't two pounds of fat, it is water.
