gaining weight while exercising?

Question

i gained 6 kgs in the last three months.  i couldn’t find anything to wear, so i started a gym membership last thursday.
i haven’t met with the trainer because i’m feeling insecure about my weight and body,  so i do fast paced - inclined thread-mill walks. i walk to school as well, so 2km everyday to uni. plus my 4-5kms at thread-mill. 
i have been dieting as well ( eating healthy, never starving, drinking my water, etc. ) ever since (i know it has been like only four days but still) and during weekend i skipped ( weekends are busy, and i need to work ) but still went on short strolls. 
yet today i checked my weight and turns out i’m now 67.6 — i was 66.2 lmao.
is it possible for me to gain weight while walking and dieting? maybe its about my upcoming period? i feel like shit, damn.

Answer

Congratulations of trying to lose weight. 
Never ever feel insecure, we all have to start from somewhere. 
burn more than you consume = weight loss 
Gaining more weight wouldn’t be muscle yet, it takes a little while to gain muscle. 
I make sure I go to the gym for two hours a day, 6 times a week.
I do a hour cardio, running, incline fast walk, cross trainer, rowing etc.
Then
A hour weights, bench, dumbbells, cables etc. 
Clean a very clean diet, no empty carbs, no processed foods. 
You only gain weight by not having a daily calorie deficit. 
Good luck.

Answer

It can definitely be your period. You can also have your weight vary day to day. It doesn’t sound like you e been at it long enough to see any real change so just keep up the good habits!

Answer

Your weight is going to fluctuate. Four days is too soon to be stepping on the scale trying to see progress.

Answer

Some have already given great tips but also don’t let the scale be your guide completely, how you look and feel matters a lot. Continue working out and take some progress pictures, try not to obsessively weigh yourself as this may discourage. Try to pay attention to how you look and feel first before stepping on the scale

Answer

Since you’ve changed the way you’re eating, it’s possible you’re sensitive to a food you weren’t aware of. There are several healthy foods that make me bloat and retain water. It can be frustrating when you’re trying to be healthy.

Answer

It is totally normal for your weight to fluctuate that much in only 4 days! Just keep working at it,  and results will be more visible on the scale on a biweekly basis. Water consumption, time of day, time of the month, all contribute to small weight fluctuations. For example, my weight fluctuates 2-5 lbs throughout the day. What you are doing sounds healthy, so keep it up!!
