I'm a good 2 stone overweight 😫 just started exercising at home (few days ago) following the Joe wicks HIIT exercises & following a slimming world type eating plan.
Anyway - jumped on the scales today and I've gained weight ??!!!

I don't get it. My kickstart to a healthier me he made me gain not loose 😫 any reason why this is happening ?

I weigh myself every morning and can 'gain' two or three pounds in a day. It can be water, big meal still being digested, trapped air I guess, who knows what. But overall I'm still always somewhere around the same number (I'm trying to maintain/lose a tiny amount)

So as long as you're seeing an overall slight downwards trend over say, a 7-14 day period, I wouldn't worry about sudden rises. It doesn't mean you've suddenly put on that much fat overnight, it's all sort of different things.

Stick with it.

Weight can fluctuate (hydration levels, time of the month) so you need to track over a longer time for losses to show reliably.

I wouldn't worry if it's only been a couple of days.
