Weight gains during the first few weeks of exercise are completely normal, even when on a weight loss plan. Why is this? Your muscle fibers are being used, so there is an increase in muscle fluid uptake for nourishment and repairs. Don't worry, your fat cells are releasing their stores to feed the muscles. Soon, you will watch the numbers on the scale drop!

There are approximately 3500 calories in each pound of fat. If you reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories per day, this leads to your body eating one pound of itself as fat per week. Any reduction beyond this is not recommended by many agencies (including NFPT). When you first start working out, you may see an increase in weight initially, even with this fat loss, why?
