Has anyone else put on weight whilst dieting & excersising?!

Has anyone else put on weight whilst dieting & excersising?

For the last 3 weeks I've changed my whole diet. (gone from eating junk food to cutting it all out and eating healthy, watching calorie intake etc..). Also have been excersising for over an hour a day on the exersise bike I purchased. However I've put on about a pound or so. I wasn't expecting instant results but did not expect to put on weight. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Has anyone else had this problem when trying to lose weight?

For most people if they go from not doing much to exercising allot they do put weight on at first

muscle weighs more than fat but takes up less room

That is why when you join a gym they also measure you.

Get a measuring tape a soft one that they use for sewing and measure your self around the waist and hips and chest upper arms upper legs

Keep track of the measurements but make sure you measure at the same level every time.
it is best if you measure 4 or 3 inches down the leg and arm some where where you can keep track of it
Please note that in some places you might start to get bigger measures as well i.e. upper arm if you are lifting weights some muscles will grow so the ones to pay att to is the waist and hips chest

When you weigh your self make sure it is first thing in the morning before you eat and after you go to the bathroom.

So you do not start to obsess it is recommended that you only weigh and measure your self every two weeks if you have to do it more no more than once a week


I know of a person who started to exercise and they put on 25 pounds but they went down 4 sizes in their cloths

Also for most people and more so for girls it is the norm for their weight to go up and down with in a five pound range. Depending on what time of the month it is.
