Just wondering if anyone goes through this weird initial weight gain while starting a new diet regime/program?...
I'm starting WW tomorrow, but in the beginning of this week (maybe even the end of last week, can't' remember), I started to incorporate exercise and calorie count.
Now, I went over my calories practically every day, but not by much. I was still eating way less than I normally do. And the fact that I was outside exercising for the first time in months, yet I still GAINED weight, just totally had me baffled.
Why does this happen? Has anyone else experinced this? I can't say it's due to sodium, because I was careful with that. I can't say it's due to building muscle because, well, I was only walking 2 miles a day-- and briskly at that. And I can't say it was to going over my calorie limit because I was still eating way less than I normally do (and better foods, to boot). And it's not "that time of the month" for me either, so I know it's not water retention....
When I start doing my WW points tomorrow, I'm going to see Sunday if that makes a difference or not. I plan to stick to my points religiously, so, maybe it will make a difference... maybe it won't. Or maybe the fact that my body will be getting used to exercising will help. I dunno.
