Started excercising regularly and gaining weight
I know I know muscle weighs more than fat great but when will I see a difference on the scale? My clothes fit better I'm following ww and been successful so far before me incorporating cardio daily.
I'm up 2.5 lbs in a week and a half.
What am I doing wrong?!?! I'm so frustrated

Re: Started excercising regularly and gaining weight
Your muscles will retain water. Don't panic. Also think about whether or not youve eaten a lot of sodium, where you are in your cycle, have you used the bathroom? All of these things can factor into the number on the scale---and I know it's hard but try to remember its JUST a number and look for patterns over weeks and months!

Re: Started excercising regularly and gaining weight
Thank u. Sodium intake is pretty much the same. I'm due for my period in a week and I a m definitely not regular since I started working out.
It's just that I FEEL my clothing is better but then get so upset when I step on the scale
I refused going to ww to weigh in bc I did not want to see my weight up on paper

Re: Started excercising regularly and gaining weight
This just happened to me..
It took a solid two weeks before the weight began to drop. And I was running 5 days a week!! I had started doing weight training again along with scaling back on running and i saw a gain. BUT my clothes fit better. A week after the first weigh in, i'm down 3 pounds. Just give it a chance! The cardio is so good for you :) make sure you drink a lot of water! I find that helps!!
