Question:
Really perplexing weight loss issue...?
ive been taking intense tennis lessons 2x/week and working out 1x/week. i cut all unhealthy foods from my diet. eating mainly vegetables, fruit, lean meat, whole grains. drinking lots of water. eating between 1200-1700 calories per day depending on exercise. (5' 6" approx 150 lbs.) gained 1/2 a pound after about 2 months of this regimen. what on EARTH is going on? lost weight on this exact diet last summer....

Answers:
Because you are working out, it is building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat!
