Reasons for weight gain after working out
Video taken from the channel: Get Fit with Gosia
Post-workout nutrition or supplement use may also cause a certain degree of weight gain after working out. Exercise—particularly prolonged endurance exercise like running or cycling—depletes the body of glycogen. It’s very common for trained athletes to consume supplement beverages after exercise that contain carbohydrates.Here, four things you need to know according to experts if you’re gaining weight while working out and eating healthy.
1. Water Retention After Exercise Water can alter your weight by as much as 10 pounds (or more).2. You’re gaining muscle. Another reason you could be gaining weight working out is that you’re building muscle faster than you’re shedding fat.
The general consensus in the fitness community is that the most muscle weight someone who is new to fitness will gain is about two pounds a month, but that’s not a hard-and-fast number.A new exercise regimen puts stress on your muscle fibers. This causes small micro tears, also known as micro trauma, and some inflammation.
Those two conditions in your muscle fibers are the reason you may gain some weight. Your body responds to the micro tears and inflammation in two ways that cause temporary water weight gain.But when you first get the tiny tears, your body may retain more fluid in the muscles as part of the healing process.
Your muscles will also store extra glycogen as they heal, which causes more.“Exercise is a stress on your body, which creates micro tears in your muscles, and the inflammation from those tears will cause you to retain more water.Some of the temporary weight gain after exercising might also be caused by the way that you’re fueling yourself, especially if you’re eating for an active lifestyle. The American Council on Exercise notes that the diet of an athlete tends to focus on carbohydrates.Muscle is more dense than fat.
With the addition of working out and assuming your diet has been the same and consistent the entire time, it is most likely that you may have lost some fat but gained muscle mass, hence the net gain in weight.Just because you worked out doesn’t mean you can pig out on a crazy, carb-heavy meal. In fact, doing this could be one of the reasons why you’re gaining weight instead of losing it.If you are gaining weight while participating in mainly aerobic workouts, you are probably not working at a high enough intensity.
If you were gaining weight before you began exercising you will need to burn enough calories first to stop the weight gain, then to create weight loss. You typically need to burn 3,500 calories to lose one pound.I’ll have breakfast (250-300 cal) before I work out. But I always weigh myself directly after that breakfast and then get prepared to exercise.
I weigh myself directly after the workout. So the only components are working out and water. I understand that when you gain muscle and when you retain water you gain weight.Sometimes, the body just needs time to adjust. “Don’t pay attention to the scale,” Lauren Buckner, owner of Body by Buckner in Washington, DC tells ESSENCE. “Pay attention to how you feel.There may be other contributing factors that can lead to weight gain, even if you are working out.
Certain medical conditions may cause weight gain, as may certain drugs, so check with your doctor if you suspect either of these reasons. Stress and tiredness can also lead to weight gain due to the hormonal changes they can bring about in the body.Weight gain can occur from eating or drinking more than you think you are.
Especially after working out hard, you may sometimes think you “deserve” a bigger portion. The American Council on Exercise recommends “meal timing.” Your glycogen stores have been depleted by your workout and you should eat within 30 to 60 minutes of working out.To tell you the truth, gaining weight can’t be dissolved down to one single reason.
In fact, for most people putting on excess weight comes down to a combination of causes. Those factors usually build and come together over time, and wind up affecting their diet, exercise routines, and lifestyle.

This explains so much! I always stopped weight training because I always stopped losing weight or gained weight whenever I started.
Hello maam.thank you for the explanation.
Actually I was 74 kgs and used to do exercise like sun salutations and stretching and some for belly fat reduction I used to do for 30 -40 mins daily…
Now during lockdown since 2 months I increased my exercise routine with few more for thigh reduction and plank for 1 min and I exercise for 1 and half hrs daily.
My weight went upto 80 kgs…will it reduce in the future is it the muscle
I eat healthy, I cut junk food, I drink eight cups of water, I workout two hours a day, not only did I not lose weight, I gained weight
From absolutely no exercise I exercised yesterday. I didn’t do anything severe except squats. I know it’s only been a day but I saw a weight gain and got scared. Will it be best to check my weight once the soreness goes away? I am committed to being healthy please let me know. Thank you so much. You are the only person who impressed me on utube.
I’ve gained 5kg after 2 weeks of eating 1000 calories, and mostly vegetables. I feel like this is a lot more than you said, but again it is 2am.
Thank you so much! I’ve been exercising, dieting, changing my diet, (OCCASIONAL snacking), and more. My weight keeps fluctuating and it’s extremely difficult to look at it.
Even worse is that my weight gains are always greater than weight loss and it always makes me so upset. It’s happy to see I’m doing the right thing.
Thank you for your inputs. I was feeling highly discouraged even after exercising i gained weight rather than loosing
Omg thx so so so much I’ve been working out and drinking lots of water AND eating healthy and eating less and I gained weight thx so much!!
I’ve never heard that about the water and protein/carb connections. Makes good damn sense.
Are you familiar with OrangeTheory fitness? It is a heart rate based work out that claims 24-36 hours in the ‘after burn zone’ will result with a high impact work out. Your video claims we have about 3 hours in the afterburn zone?
The reason why you guys are gaining weight because of you are actually gaining muscles. I currently did the chloe ting’s workout for 2 weeks, i didnt lose any weight but i can feel im getting fit because i can see my clavicle clearly than before
Doms explanation that makes sense! Hallelujah you save my life. I get Doms and it gets me down. I just wish there were more ways to treat it that rest ice etc.
Gave up cardio and done heavy weights this must be why I’m gaining
Wow, am I glad I found your channel. I’m actually going through this process right now. All of a sudden, I gained three pounds and I know I was careful about tracking my meals over the holidays because I’m doing the WW freestyle blue plan and I’m following that carefully. It all started after going back to the gym the day after Christmas when I started to increase my duration on my cardio from thirty minutes to an hour, on the stationary bike, doing the random hill program. I’ve also increased resistance on quite a few resistance machines these past few days. And yes, I do have some soreness in my abs and quads, due to the increase of activity. I will definitely keep going with my regimen, because I’ve seen that with a lot of hard work and dedication, anything is possible. So far, nearly fifteen pounds lost, and when I drop those last few that I found lately, that should equal almost twenty pounds lost. I also looked at myself in the mirror and my mom says I don’t look like I’ve gained anything, Clothes are loose too. Thanks for posting this.
In conclusion: DRINK LOTS OF WATER, EAT LOTS OF FIBER, ANDDDD YOUR PROBABLY LOSING FAT AND GAINING MUSCLE SO JUST KEEP AT IT UNTIL YOU REACH YOUR GOAL. DONT GET DISCOURAGED. All love, goodluck yall ��
It’s been a month now and still stuck…. with good eating, cardio and weight trying but I’ve notice some inches off but why do the fat start chiming off im going on my 6th week trying sooo what now
Thank you for your answer!! I’m 43 male weight was 196. Now that I’m working out I’m 202 lbs. like wt? Eating right no soda etc…yes I’m sore I’m hurting. Former US Marine and wrestler!! Thank you Ma’am your the best
This is my real problem and so i always avoid working out.. i gain too much weight when i workout and it really upsets me everytime. But now i know why. Thanku for the video. Can you upload video regarding exercises and diets to be done for the same
Thank you. I feel so much better now after watching this vid. I went on the scale yest morning and dropped 3 lbs then went straight to the gym and incorporated some strengthening exercises and ate a lot less calories than the day before. I jumped on the scale this morning and gained back the 3lbs overnight and I was like WTF?!?!������
Now it makes sense. You gave me the motivation to keep doing what I’m doing. I will try not to jump on the scale again until a week or two later so I don’t freak myself out again.. ������
P.S. I also incorporate intermittent fasting…
Okay but how long will this “weight gain” last? A few weeks?
Dear Christine, I have a question for you and Im so hopeful you will see it and answer me. Im recovering from anorexia, and lastly got my permission to get back to my sport regimen which includes walking and sometimes light running (only on negative incline lol). I started to do that, I go for 2 hours walk 3 days a week and I have a beautiful road trip. The problem is, that sometimes when I wake up the morning after, usually after combining some running, my whole body gets swollen like a balloon. My legs had changed their appearance, my belly feels hurt and full of fluids, even my face. Im all hurt, sore, and suffering from medium edema as I press on my ankle and marks are staying for seconds. I drink a lot of water, and try to sleep well, but the problem doesnt seem to be solved. Its been a month of training and as I do it I really enjoy it, but suffer from the after consequences. Do u have any idea if something that I do is wrong here? What does it setm from? How long will it take for my body to adjust to this sport and to my muscles to rebuilt. Could it be from a lack of protein maybe? (I dont think I consume enough protein for a day) or from the fact that my potassium level is a bit low? (Struggling with hypokalemia situation but taking Ultra K and its getting better)
I really suffer here since the sport helps my anxiety and mood, but my body image is getting worse…
Much appreciate! Thank u!
Good video, I went from a size 38 waist too 36 waist, 3x T-shirt too 2x, but my weight is still the same.
I think this was happening to me. Last month I really started eating carefully and began going to the gym again. I quickly lost a few pounds, but then overnight gained it back. My weight stayed steady, and I couldn’t figure out what was going on because I was doing everything right.
So I have to stop working out or keep going?? I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT!!!
Thank you so much for this video. So tired of everyone just saying lower your calories or work harder. I am a fan of you saying that you don’t have to be in excruciating pain to make gains. In the past, that has been very true for me, and pain has led to injury. It’s just my body. Annoying, but true. So I am totally with you on the not buying into the “no pain, no gain theory.” So, I didn’t change my eating at all, but I did add in some running and upped my weights a bit. Suddenly, I gained 6 pounds over about two weeks. I could tell it was not all muscle. It was water. My blood sugar is great. It wasn’t that. So this is fascinating. I have been more sore, and my body does tend to get inflammation quite easily (so I increase my workouts very slowly). But what you are saying here makes sense. I’ll hold on and see if, as I get used to my increases, if the weight falls again.
Because I’ve been a sloth for past 2 years following divorce. What’s unreal is how I’ve retained most of all the muscle I had put on. Thank God.
Thank you so much for explaining this. You madame feel better now that I know this. You are awesome.
I gained 14 pounds in 2 weeks. I no longer have a scale….or a wall.
Thank you for keeping my motivation! I was getting discouraged
So basically, you’re telling me it’s normal and I should keep going with my workout and my diet?
Imfao I love how we all gained 15 pounds loll but guys I think that’s muscle weight and I think we are going to stay that way for a little bit till the muscle burns the fat
every day I step on a scale and I gain 1-2kg. I cry every day because of that. I get bullied because of that. Before I was ashamed to be 50kg. Now I’m 67kg. I exercise and drink tons of water daily!! I just don’t understand!
Thank u because I’ve been working hard and the scale went up 2 pounds after training and lifting
I got injury at work a few days ago. I think it’s a over worked muscle in my arm. Its painful. last week I weight in at 126.5 this week I’m 129. Does a injury works the same way as sore muscles?
This happened to me too when I started a balanced diet.
After a month, the weight just fell off.
It takes 21 days to break a habit, think it applies to weight loss too.
Or it just takes about a month for your body to adjust and respond.
Trusting the process and being patient is key.
Glad I’m watching this kind of freaking out with the numbers but looking great
Awww we have the same type of all American pit. Chapin color! ������
Your dogs are SOOOOO cute! That little face in the back distracted me with cuteness.
Thanks for this video I have gain 5 lb and it was really annoying
tHIS TRULY HELPS TO CLARIFY THINGS FOR ME I HAVE BEEN WORKING OUT SO MUCH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 20 YEARS AND I GAINED 4 LBS OVER NIGHT WTF!!!!! I WAS SO PISSED OFF AND DISCOURAGED. THIS HELPS SO MUCH TO KNOW.
So what do I do to stop gaining weight everyday after a workout
During Corona i lost 22 pounds. Prior to that i lost 87 pounds. And now 2-3 weeks after i started working out again i started to gain weight! Up to almost 10 pounds!
I keep gaining weight even though it doesn’t look like that. I can easily fit into a s/small. But I still keep gaining weight. Even when I exercise and diet.
I need help I was 183 and i want to be 168. I started by eatting healthy and lowering how much I eat and drinking alot alot alot alot of water. Within 24 to 72 hours I gained damn near 6lbs. I hope this is what i am going through. I was sore after my workout to the point i couldn’t bend over due to abs hurting. Let me stay motivated and don’t give up.
Mam my weight body is 83 kg. I am doing exercise 12 days ago my body weight increases to 84.what will I do?
Thank you for this video. This is exactly what happens to me.
Is it ideal for work out 25-30 minutes each day? And can I workout morning and night each day? Please reply asap! Much love
I use MSM supplement after my workouts. It really helps me. If it wasn’t for MSM I would have quit working out.
I went on a 1/2 mile run and played basketball for 2 and a 1/2 hours. a couple hours later I felt bloated. All I ate was 9 chicken nuggets and broccoli ��
I’ve been trying to lose ten pounds and tone up. I’ve gained so much weight:`( I gained five pounds and I just wanted to throw my scale out the window! I can’t figure it out.
I am fed up with my water retention exercise and diet but can’t reduce 100gram o weight
I been getting it to weight full body training more and I used to weigh 137 now I weigh 140 is it because I gaining more muscle
I was on a diet and lost 5kg so I went back to eating normally and started to workout but I’m starting to gain my weight back and my face and stomach is getting bigger again ��
i gained weight while at maintenance currently wanting to build muscle, while maitaing a low body fat i am following the keto diet and had decided to lower my calories which is my fat intake to about 100 is this a good approach
the thing is that i work out regularly and eat healthy and count calories every day, last week my clothes we’re getting looser and looser, now my pants don’t fit and im so frustrated bc this keeps happening over and over again. i haven’t weighed myself but based on how my clothes fit i know i gained weight but im not sure if you can gain like 10 lbs pf water in a few days.
When I started working out I was 126, been working out every day for almost three weeks and I’m at 140. I hope it goes down! I’ve never gained weight this fast before.
THANK YOU so much for making this video. I literally fail everytime because im so hung up on the scale. I wreck shop in the gym, measure and prep each meal so when i see the scale shoot up I back off and fall off track. Not now. Not this time.
i was 53 kg 5 months ago and now i’m 57 kg it really sucks��
omg i feel so much better, i could hug you!!! You answered all my questions. I was so down in the dumps.
Yeah, I too am guilty of jumping through diet plan to others as well, I do believe that I must have tested every weight loss system that was available, however in the end not one of them helped me to reduce and maintain the weight off. I ended up trying for the very last time with the Custokebon Secrets because my cooworker who told me great things about it and so far to date I have successfully lost 18 lbs in 3 weeks!
If you got more shredded and more weight its called muscle not fat Ex: you gained 1 Kg muscle not fat
Thanks for the video.
It’s unreal. I’ve been doing IF and low carb plus cardio weight training. How the hell is the scale going up and staying the same��
I always thought it was because the muscle is heavier..never though about muscle retention…
I’ve gained about 7 pounds in 2 weeks and I’m super upset. Hoping it drops like you said
im 16 and during quarantine ive been working out insanely. ive been working out for 3 weeks and eating healthy and I just started drinking half a gallon-a gallon of water daily in hopes to lose weight. instead I went from 163 pounds to 169 pounds in a week. I dont understand why this is happening and im extremely discouraged and I just cried about this because I am so disappointed with myself. I need help lets put it that way. my goal is 145-150 pounds and nothing is happening. help me please lol
I have been eating right working out, walking and not eating anything after 7pm and i have gained 13 pounds. I am also going through menopause and on hormone replacement therapy. Do you have any advice for women who are going through menopause. This is so frustrating.
This is where I’m at, lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks, then lost 7 lbs in 8 days after cardio, lifting small weights8-10 lbs, and 10 min kettlebell 15 lb workout, and seemed to gain 5 lbs over night. Ugh been there for a few days. It really sucks. But I’m doing Keto, and feeling good, my clothes still fits okay but it’s still quite dissappointing!
so I went on Weight Watchers about a year ago I’ve lost about 80 pounds now I seem to be gaining weight I’ve lost only now 64 lb so I’ve gained some weight seems like I’m always hungry my stomach seems to be bloated please help
Crap when she said Dommes I thought we were going to take about S&M.
I use to be skinny but then my brother got very ill (he’s alive still) but we always had to get fast food �� and so like I gained weight now that he’s better I’m trying to lose weight to 99 pound and I weigh 118 soo:(
Means if I am gaining weight so I should rest more and just keep on going with daily diet?
I’m 14 and I started working out a week ago and I look like I’ve gained so much weight and I don’t know if I should take a week break or something and I feel like I’ve just waisted my time to just gain more weight pls answer.
Thank you so much! I’ve been working out really hard recently, doing new things ive never done before and because of it my muscles have been killing me. I haven’t checked my weight on the scale but I’ve but noticed I’ve been looking bigger than normal and I couldn’t explain why! I’ve been eating right and in a caloric deficit and I’m only in the first 2 weeks of a new regime but I think this explains it, thank you!
Thanks a ton I work out for a long time I walk a mile shadow box do my shoulder excersise etc I feel sore afterwards think I lost weight and then turns out I actually gained weight
First month that I started dieting and exercising I lost 6 pounds. Ever since I have been continuing but haven’t lost a single pound.
My weight is going up again and I’ve been cardioing and weight lifting for two months.. I went down in weight and now it’s climbing up again? I look better tho. I don’t get it.
When i was my leanest I stayed the same weight/ a lil higher, but my inches was dropping like crazy. Thats the muscle mass youre gaining. Muscle weighs WAY more than fat!
I work out 5 times a week; boxing, weightlifting and running. Eat and drink like I normally do, i avoid eating out, no coke, no wine, nothing unhealthy; yet still i gained weight, although i dont gain fat, but still the number on the scale fucks up with my head
I’m like 15 ponds heavier been lifting heavy for like a month tho my clothes seems to fit tighter and i have not been eating bad tuna chicken avocado protein:/
Thanks for this video! I was getting discouraged and frustrated but now understand.
Omg I’ve been over working out because I was so motivated I didn’t wanna take any days off I didn’t know the rest was so important ��
This is THE FIRST VIDEO I’ve seen address this!!! Holy mackerel I thought I was crazy! Everyone said I was just not reducing my calories enough or not doing enough cardio! Im so glad you pointed out that others have experienced a gain after a couple of weeks. This is exactly what has made me quit after a few weeks on a new program. Thankfully this time I ignored the scale and decided to focus on consistency and muscle gain. I have renewed motivation… Thanks Christine!
I eat healthy and am in a maintain calorie range 1650-1700 a day and I power lift but I still find myself gaining weight and my weight doesn’t change a lot, could this be a result of a eating disorder ruining my metabolism a few years back?
Even though I try to stay away from unhealthy food and mainly do HIIT and strength training, the scale says I gained fat and lost muscle mass. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the video and information. I am watching you from Afghanistan and so glad to know you. Waiting for more videos ����♥️
Ok good to know because I weigh around 140 and I pick up you gym meso workout and I’ve been doing it for a week and a day so far and I hopped on the scale and it read 146.8 and I freaked out lol but then I found this and I think that’s what has been happening becuse I eat clean and I’ve been following that and have been so sore the day after each workout so thnx
I need to schedule a consultation. I haven’t lost any weight since beginning my program in 12 weeks. I do cardio 5 days a week, strength training 3 days a week. my macros are close and I have 25 pounds to lose so i should be seeing something.
Thank you so much for posting this video! This happen to me every single time I try to lose weight and I was never able to understand. Now I get it and have the motivation to not give up:)
I’d love to hear a video on being sore after workouts! I sometimes feel like if I’m not sore then I didn’t work hard enough!
going to be super honest with you; I did some workouts yesterday night and today I weighted myself and I was 1 and a HALF kilograms heavier! I have an eating disorder past, I still struggle with my body image every single day; every single hour actually. I was so devastated when I saw the number on the scale because I eat super clean but just started to workout. I have watched millions of youtube videos about clean eating, exercising and body image problems but none of them mentioned this. I really really appreciate your words, I was so anxious earlier but now am feeling so much better. thanks and thanks again. x
bruh i was 168 this morning and now im 171 back to my starting point. i eat one meal a day and drink water WHY THE HELL DO I CAN SO QUICK AFTER ONE FREAKING MEAL
Thanks for the vid! Can you please make that video about muscle soreness. Specifically why you can be sore & not make gains and why soreness is not an accurate means to measure exercise effectiveness.
This helped!! I gained 2 kgs randomly while working out and was wondering what’s happening. Thank youuuuu. I’ll keep going.:)
I am 15 y o i sarted to do push ups and some other exercise 3 weeks ago before my weight was 57 kg and now my weight is 60 Kg i can see my body is getting in shape and i am getting thinner than before but why i am gaining weight, i was fat before but my weight was 57kg now i am pretty thiner than before and my wait is 60 kg is it something major concern?? And is this weight temporary PLEASE REPLY I AM PRETTY TENSED AND DEMOTIVATED
good to know! been lifting heavy and eating betterand feeling betterbut busted a pair of jeans when I sat down the other day ����
Thank you for this info! I was watching my macros very closely, exercising more than ever before, and I feel like I’m thicker around the waist and I feel like I look like I’ve put on some. This is so encouraging, I will continue with what I’m doing. It’s only been a week of super strict diet and exercise.:) my muscles aren’t aching anymore, but they were two days ago.
They always do say you gotta get bigger to get smaller, I was getting big the first week I had water retention like you discussed, I didnt give up. Now im more slim and cut a month later.
Thanks a lot for this video! For me the whole thing was a mystery and you explained it well, thanks
I went from being completely sedentary to working out so this makes sense �� thanks
i was losing weight lately and then suddenly i started gaining, 3kg in the last week and i almost cried. THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME UNDERSTAND ��
Its incongruent to see skinny pics of you in the promos of your videos and then see you are heavier now. I understand why you may do this to attract viewers but these mixed messages send conflicting messages to viewers
Today was the first week since I started losing, I gained weight..08 lbs and I am piiiseddd
I’ve noticed I look leaner and I’ve been weight training but only small weights trying to tone up but the scale is only going up! I’m like what on Earth is going on?
I’m tracking my caloric intake and making sure I have at least 600 caloric deficit!
I exercise 4-5 times a week and on the other days I walk and try to do at least 10k steps
What am I doing wrong?
It’s so frustrating
I was 63 then went up to 65 just because I eat two cups of rice once��
Thank you so much now I have the things clear, next week gonna start lifting weight ��
I gained 5 lbs on 1 week even though I was being really healthy and doing lots of exercise
For me the numbers are going down but my clothes feel tighter..
Thanks for this video I started walking 5 or more miles a day 3 and a half weeks ago and I’ve gained 6lbs I just can’t understand it
Last week I was down 26 pounds! Then on the 6th week TODAY I gained 9 pounds. But I don’t poop. Guys say girls don’t poop, so I guess that’s true for me.
Please someone help me.I’m eating healty work out.Than 62 to 65 kg.Im crying
naw this doesnt explain my situation.
I look better I’m wearing a size down shirt
And I just scaled my self and it says I’m 22 pounds heavier!!! I dont get it!
That’s not 5 or 10 pounds that’s 22pounds!!!
How am I wearing a size down and gain 22pounds
I been on a mission for 5months and I gained 22pounds ��
Is it muscle?
I been going hard on my work outs and diet
And I haven’t scaled my self in 5months until today
Can’t believe you took 8 and sum minutes to get to the reasons why
Thank you for this! Started diet this week and had no cheats all week. Yesterday was a serious leg day and I was super excited to weigh-in today. No cheating and super sore quadsI was ready to see losses, and instead was totally crushed when the scale showed no difference. First inclination was to fall into a vat of hamburgers (thankfully, I did not) your post gives me fresh hope.
I had lost 15 kg by health diet and different workout at home….but now with same routine I am gaining weight around 3 kg…I am so worried about it..why its happening…
I have high T for a woman. I’ve gained 7ish lbs. My biometric scale says I’ve gained 10lbs of muscle. I’m bulking up doing cardio. This is a nightmare.
I just went backwards on the scale and in inches. Been working out for about 6 months. I went from 124 lbs to 108 lbs. Also from wearing a size 9 to size 5 in jeans. This week I gained 3 lbs and went from a size 5 to a 7. I increased the incline on my treadmill to six and speed to 3.2. Before the incline was four. I noticed after working out like this for about a week my body gained weight and inches. This is so frustrating. My inches and weight we’re doing great. I read that is you workout with a higher incline it’s better for you and now I look thick. What the hell. After the workouts I did experience extreme soreness and some pain which I’m sure was due to the fibromyalgia that I have. I rested for 2 days and started working out again. Not sure if I should rest for more days before I start up again. My eating habits have not changed. I hope I start to go down again. I hope I’m not bulking up because of the incline. I hope this is just temporary. So sad.
Ugh, this is me right now… Total DOMS soreness… I always keep that in mind if I’m stepping on the scale
I lost 3 kg in 1 month I was so happy but I gained 1kg in 2 days, damn I‘m so sad
Background music is so annoying, cant hear anything properly??
I became so energized to take the diet routine “Yamzοkο Weebly” (Google it). My diet plan and my frequency of several exercises was not modified and also change. In only a short period of Four weeks, I currently lost 6 pounds. The procedure has let me ate lesser and becoming full is a lot faster..
I’ve been the most active lately and the last I checked I was 61kg, I just checked today to see… 67kg? Thank you for informing me when I thought I was being unhealthy I was going to do the opposite of what I have been doing, but I’ll keep doing what I’m doing.
I lost 60 pounds and now my weight been going up like 6 to 8 pounds lately I do the same workouts…it has me going crazy lol
I walked 100km in 1 week
Aprox 15km a day
And i was in very strict diet
And still didn’t lose any weight
I started exercise a few weeks ago and i measured my weight and I saw I had gained 3 kg weight….I was very discouraged….but after seeing your video I am felling pretty much good ☺️
I’ve been trying to go to the gym more than 2 a week, maybe 2 times in morning before work (20-30 min cardio) and 2 times after work for strength exercise. What do you suggest? How to arrange these during the week? Ps trying to slim down and I hit the plateau
I’ve never been fat shame before but by my sis its like wow
I’ve been slim all my life I cried
wanted to update that since I’ve been following the endomorph suggestions you made a video on, I’m finally making progress regarding scale and measurements! tracking my macros and doing lighter weights but 15-20 reps. it’s nice to eat real food and make progress.
Girl thank you so much for this. I started at 175 and finally officially lost my first 5 lbs a couple days ago only to weight my self today and weight in at 181. That’s the heaviest I’ve ever seen the scale and I cried. I literally just lost it. This really explained a lot and I am going to check the sodium in my seasonings for now on.
Thank you for this video, I’m so discouraged right now… but NOT giving up!!!! I am overweight 31 year old, was 205 when I started working out about 3 weeks ago and have been going back and forth 195-198. haven’t seen the scale drop, I weighed myself today and I’m back at 200 pounds:(. I will say I have been doing intense training and hiking everyday eating 1500 calories and writing everything I eat. I have been feeling way better, have more endurance and feel the soreness and my muscles growing but I know I have to be patient hopefully the scale drops in a couple of weeks…
Hi! Thank you for the video! I’ve been successfully losing weight for a year now. I’ve lost 30 pounds already but still want to lose 13 pounds maximum. But, the problem is that the same schedule that worked for me all this time, won’t work anymore: I don’t lose any weight anymore while sticking to the same schedule that has worked for me before. This has been the situation for the last 3 months. I can’t eat less because then I wouldn’t eat enough and I don’t want that. I try to eat proteine and try to drink enough water. Do you know what I can do?
I am fasting 20:4 with 2 small portion meals of HEALTHY HOME MADE VEGETABLES AND LOW CALORIE FOODS NO SALT for 2 and a half week. And i lose ZERO FUCKING POUND! How?!!
Great information! Yep! When I first started working out, I bloated up & gained 4 to 5 pounds… but I was also not watching my calories that much. It went away after week 4 or 6 for me.
Thank you for the logic information. I am about to give up on my diet and exercise right now. My body weight very fluctuate recently. Sometimes down 2 kg,sometimes gain 2 kg in just 1 week. And yes i gain weight especially when i try new weight training program. I am sad and stress about this fluctuation. But thanks for explaining this. Now i am motivated again and want to workout again.. Patience is the key..
This is so me right now. I started at 58kg and 1 1/2 weeks into training, I gained another 2kg. I just laughed as I thought I should be losing weight. Now it makes much more sense. I’m gonna continue my workouts and weigh again after 1 month. Thanks for the vid!��
i eat healthy and i work out everyday for 45 mins or more and yet i’m just gaining weight like i just weighed myself and learned i gained 2 pounds in a week and i cried. thank you
I needed this. Doing everything right, and feel stuck. I will stick with the training program and trust the process. Thanks for the video:)
Yep! I always swell a bit 1-2 days after heavy lifting/climbing!
Hai mam, my weight is 53, I’m doing excercise daily for 4 months but my weight is gaining 59 kgs, I’m so dispointed, what can I do? Can stop the excercise it is good for me, reply me mam please
i was eating eggs while watching this and when she said “eggs” i almost cried.
last week On Monday i started my 2 mile jog weight at 289. On Tuesday i didn’t jog just give my joint time to recover for the next day. jogged on Wednesday for 2.3 miles got on the scale weight was at 296??? now this week everything seems to flowing good but that happens a lot.
I gained two pounds when I was working out and I was eating healthy
I was curious what you thought about Spin and Cycling classes? I tried to search for a video but I didn’t see one so if you already did one I apologize ��
Thanks for explanation you came at a right time just before I was about to throw the scale out, I haven’t pooped for 48hrs and I stopped drinking water for few days plus I had more carb last 72hr no wonder I stalled on my weight loss for a day then I added 1lb and here I was losing 1/2 pound a day.
In short drink plenty water cut back on carbs and control my salts that should bring it back in weight loss mode.
i know its dumb question but am confuse please tell me if i got pain in my theigh,Arm or hip after workout? what does it means? because people normally build muscle of their arm after gym and they also have some pain after workout so am i doing the same thing i got pain in theigh, Arms and hip so am i loosing fat r gaining muscle etc i dont knw???
I’m working my ass off and ive been drinking water and cut off all foods which are bad for you and exercising a lot i look like ive lost weight and clothes are loose but the scales say ive gained it I’m not happy:(
I have a question about green tea. I know it’s beneficial for weight loss and I was wondering how much green tea can I incorporate in my diet to promote weight reduction? And how do you feel about diet pills? I don’t believe in diet pills and would rather stick to a healthy diet and exercise program. Why are these harmful chemically altered medications still out there when they can cause serious harm to people? Why hasn’t anyone banned the use of diet pills that are sold over the counter? And if I started a campaign against them, would you agree with me? It’s all about saving lives and I seriously think that over the counter quick fixes just mean a quick fix to the ER.
DOMs are kicking my ass right now; it’s been 2 years since I last did something this intense and… I’m in the wilderness �� thanks for this video, because I’m losing inches, but the number on the scale has been going up by 4 lbs every day �� I’m going to push through this. It’s so scary, because these are the biggest numbers I have ever seen.
I’ve gained 5 pounds in 5 bloody days and I’m working so hard. Like I don’t want to quit but ��������
I am vegetarian and do execerise still I have lot of love handles. Why?
Dr Beth, this is indeed very helpful. Can I use glucose powder in a glass of water or is there a special glucose drink I need to get.
Its almost a month that i work out, and I was wondering why i keep gaining on weight.now i know the reason after watching this video, thanks to you. And some more i think im the only one gain weight after workout ������
I’m up 5 pounds… I’m scared.. I had some ice cream, cake and during the week. I can’t play around this week.
I have been lifting everyday for the last 3 months, but I’ve gained weight and I’m frustrated! My jeans are super tight and my butt is huge!! Lol. Ive always been thick in the thighs, but I want to slim down not get thicker. I’ve tried intermittent fasting and keto. I’m thinking about taking a break from lifting and juicing veggies and fruits for 7 days to lose some mass. Ugh. Annoyed!
Thankyou for making this I was having such a hard time keeping up with my new routine
Makes total sense. When I went vegan I went to the restroom all the time.
Thank you so much for this video, I’m at week three i lost 4lbs the first week and now the scale is going up and I’ve been the same thing. But i just have to push through
I started lifting (in addition to walking which I do a lot of as I live in a big city in Japan) and I added 20 mins minimum on the cardio machine each workout as well as some stretching. Ideally I do it once every two days, although if something happens and I absolutely cannot get in there on the second day I go in on the third. I am also getting better at reading my body as I work with preschoolers which is a more active job than most people and I need to have a functioning body for them. I def feel healthier and stronger and can see gains in my flexibility. I admit that I am not doing EVERYTHING right but I’m working on the things I know I need to work on. I have successfully lost weight before and even kept it off for while (but the scale has been creeping back up in recent years) so I know what I need to do, but then again last time I also wasn’t trying to get fitter while in the process of losing weight. I was also about a decade younger. MORE ACURATELY now I can say my goal is fitness and to appear smaller, whatever the scale does (and get more into pictures and measurements with the measuring tape), but it is still frustrating to jump on the scale and see only a very small amount of weight loss and that it hasn’t shifted much since the first two weeks. Still I’ve decided to stay motivated by how much stronger and more flexible I feel and just try to keep eating well and in a way that I know should work for me. I’m also now measuring my oil as admittedly that was a place I was faltering before: ) I just need to continue to trust in my body and the process and not get easily discouraged by one single number on one device, which isn’t telling me the whole story anyways.
i went up 4 pounds since last month but i’m exercising, dieting and i’m actually seeing differences on my stomach, i’m really nervous i’m gaining fat
This is so comforting. I’m not exactly a “beginner” but I am in the way that I always start a tough workout routine and feel that soreness but then don’t workout nearly as hard again for like a week or 2 so I never stay consistent enough to see the water retention phase go away because I’m one of those “scale obsessed” unfortunately lol (trying to change that) so that’s why I looked up why I’m gaining weight when starting over again. I will take your advise and keep going despite the scale going up:)
Same with me. I’ve been muscular for years, but I started training differently since three weeks quarantine. My diet and caloric intake has not changed, my measurements are THE SAME, my clothes STILL fit. But I’m not a beginner. I’ve gained 4 pounds in three weeks. But I’ve been in a lot of pain and soreness especially this week. It sucks. I hope the weight gain goes.
Damn! I thought I was doing something wrong haha…. awesome �� good to know ����
That explains why i gained 4 pounds overnight, even after staying below 1900 cal and 1hr strength training. Ufff, i almost gave up.
I did a HIIT cardio yesterday, I was 53kg and I checked today, and now I’m 60kg!? I was also eating healthy. What’s happening to me?
Thanks I exercised for a week ate healthy and was so excited to see how much I lost but when I weighed myself I gained so so mad
I have currently applied this “Yamzoko Weebly” (Google it) for some weeks by now and the final results are remarkable. I have the energy I need without curbing the desire for foods without making me feel jittery. I did absolutely nothing special on my diet and I still find a way to reduced my excess weight to 7 pounds..
Now I am trying to maintain my weight but I gained 1 kg I don’t know why I just started maintaining my weight in this week in same time I started working out half hour every day and I don’t eat much but I don’t know why I am gaining weight
My sis was 152.2 five days ago and is now 154.4… It’s called water weight. Lol it’s not fat.
I’ve been in a caloric deficit and working out almost everyday for 3 weeks and I haven’t dropped any weight but I have lost inches. That’s what’s kept me motivated. It’s good to take measurements and pictures to track your weight loss.
I don’t know why I’ve been gaining weight even though im on a strict 1500 calorie diet and do a 3 hour soccer workout every day
When I’m not working out I can pretty much eat anything and not gain weight. I have started CrossFit 3 weeks ago and I have gained 5 pounds I’m freaking out. I am eating more though I feel hungry like a lion after my workouts. And that’s why for years I never stick to the program coz it always happens and I give up. I usually drop what a gain when I quit working out, this time I’ll stick to the plan, I will have to start a restricted diet I guess. I never been able to diet I am a very hungry person I’m not fat I’m 5,8 140 pounds after the 5+ I gained but I hate my body now after my baby it just looks weird full of fats on weird areas.
Question: I just started working out for the first time in a loooong time and in just TWO days I’ve gained 7 pounds?! I weigh myself everyday at the same time of the day and I know my scale isn’t broken bc I used my moms and it said the same thing, also I do keep track of my ovulation timings and I don’t typically gain weight at this time, anyway what I’m asking is if it’s even possible to gain that much water weight over that period of time
I’m here because I do the 16:8 and I lift mostly but I also do daily walks at least 30 to an hour a day. I cook and eat healthy as well. I get compliments but the scale says otherwise. Frustrating. I know muscle weighs more but I was expecting a super metabolism boost that will also make me drop to the index chart weight for my height.
So I started doing squats and pushups a couple days ago and went up 4 lbs!!!! Granted I’m not super sore as I do carry around a 20lb baby everyday. But I am also only eating 1400cals a day since I’m 5’7 and trying to drop weight, not gain it
Does Fenoboci Diet Plan (google it) help me lost tons of fat? I see a lot of people keep on speaking about this popular lose weight method.
Well I’m doing fasting and only drink water, yet today I weight myself i gain again hmmm
i lost 7kg in 2 month and now i’m gaining it back and i’ve been doing the same routine and it’s actually pissing me off
Sometimes it’s not fat it’s muscle that adds to your weight.
i wanted to have a flat stomach and bigger bum so i’ve been doing a glute workout and abs workout for weeks now and my weight was 51 kg and now i gained to 54 kg. is it normal to gain weight while i was working out?
Can you just add a little coconut water to your water while working out instead of doing it at the 30-minute mark?
