[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a female in my early 40s. After not going inside the gym for a few years (or going in just 1 or 2 days then not returning for nearly 8 months), I decided to be consistent! It's time to shed some pounds and I'm paying for the membership anyway.

SO I went to the gym 5 days this week. FIVE! I went last Saturday...Sunday...Tuesday...Thursday...then TODAY.

I stood on the scale and realized [b]I've gained   .6 pounds[/b] since last Saturday!

I did an hour of cardio on the elliptical every single time I went. I also worked on machines that worked out my legs and arms/lower back. Today I did crunches for the first time.

I know you're not suppose to rely on the scale but on the way you feel and clothing fit in order to determine weight loss, as muscle weighs more than fat so I could've gained muscle during the week.

On the other hand, the first few pounds are supposed to drop quickly. So what in the world???

I may be pre-menstrual. My cycle starts at the very end of the month and in the days leading up to it, I get bloated.

Please HELP! What am I doing wrong? I haven't been overeating and actually skipped lunch a few days this week by snacking through it (apples, grapes, crackers and cheese) so it can't be that I gorged on food. However, I am nearly obsessed with bottled ice teas and probably drank them more than water this week.

And ideas? Advice?

It should read that I gained .6 OF A POUND. (Just so you don't think I gained 6 pounds after 5 days in the gym in one week.)[/quote]
