Muscle weighs more than fat.

you might actually be toning (losing the fat and adding to the muscle, as muscle weighs more than fat. give it time. if you are actually gaining fat, see a nutrionist and re-examine what you are eating.

moving around gives you healthy appetite, and you eat more, that's all...

Muscle weights about 3 times as much as fat so..who knows

It is not uncommon for that to happen. Muscle weights more than fat. If your cloths are fitting looser and you feel stronger and in better shape then don't worry....your look marvels

Muscle mass,it weighs 3x heavier than fat.You'll be burning off fat and getting more toned.Concentrate on what you look like,if you know that you are doing all the right things.
After training for many years i became alot heavier,but smaller in size.

You can find out on the net how many calories you need by logging onto a calorie Intake site,it will ask you for information about your exercise regime and work out how many calories you should be eating.

This is normal, but I must say, unless you are training for a bodybuilders competition, you may be overdoing it. Try 30-45 minutes of advanced cardio each day, and 30 minutes of weight bearing/muscle toning exercises EVERY OTHER DAY. I think that may be why you are gaining weight so quickly. Have you talked with the personal trainer at the gym? They can give you great workout advice. Just remember--it should never be about the scale... it should be about how healthy you really are. You can be perfectly within your weight range, and be dehydrated and nutritionally starving.

You are right..muscle does weigh more than fat, so weight gain is normal when working out for most people.
It is important to keep your protein intake up with such as things as lean meats such as broiled chicken breast, lentil, beans and soy. Carbs sre okay but try to eat them early in the day and keep your fat intake low..20-30 grams is what most people use for weight loss...not to mention it can bring cholesterol down.
The key things are:
drink at least eight 8 oz glasses of water daily,
make sure you drink water after you work out,
keep your weightlifting to low weights so bulk of muscle does not occur,
make sure that you do eat..eating several small healthy meals throughout the day, instead of 3 big ones will work better.
If you are not putting enough food (healthy) into your body, than your body will have a tendency to hang onto what calories you have..sending it into starvation mode.
But remember, although you have gained weight, you may have lost inches.
If you are a woman, then remember that weight gain can fluctuate up to 10 lbs during ovulation and menstuation, and even menopause.
You will know your true weight as a woman approximately 5 days after your period, as ovulation begins at approximately 10 days after menstruation.
Never weigh yourself at night or after a workout or even mid day. Weigh yourself first thing in the morning, with no clothes.
Your body, sometimes when first dieting does actually go through a starvation mode as it is not used to the lower calorie intake so it keeps the calories. Don't worry, your body will adapt and weight will start coming off.
Make sure that you actually should be dieting...maybe you aren't overweight..therefore this also causes the body to maintain the weight and keep what it needs.
Get a check up(with blood test)...make sure you are healthy and should be dieting and working out.

Your building up muscle, stay off the weights for a bit! once your muscles have firmed up, you'll burn loads more fat, don't worry about it

I agree with everyone else on here. Muscle weighs more than fat and that's why the scale is going up.

No one can tell you how hight your weight will go up before it starts to drop. But I think that you need to remember that it isn't how much you weigh that's important, it's how health you are. Are you noticing more definition in your muscles? Are your clothes fitting better? Are you feeling more energized? If these are all yes, then know that you are doing the right thing. You might never get to 100 lbs, but as long as you are fit and healthy then you have done the best you can. :)

Good luck! Keep up the good work!
