For the last two weeks I started eating well & exercising. I want to lose 10lbs. I start with a slimfast shake fro breakfast, special K for lunch and a dinner with a few small snacks in between. I also started walking/jogging 5 days a week on a hilly street area for about 40 minutes per day. The first week I lost 3lbs. As of today (2nd week) I am back up 2lbs... Question is do you think I am gaining muscle to gain that weight back? I have had a few small splurges (one night one serving of spaghetti & 2 meatballs for instance) but on the other hand it appears I have lost a 1/2 inch off my thighs, hips, etc... It gets very discouraging when you work so hard to see the scale go back up. I feel like this is all for nothing... what do you all think??
