Today, I finished the first month of a diet and exercise program designed to help me lose weight. To keep myself motivated, I have avoided the scale the entire time. I weighed myself today. I've gained 6 pounds. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, I was proud of going to the gym 3 times a week (instead of once a week) to get in relative shape. I even started doing light cardio and (I thought) started to eat better. I've gained six pounds, despite watching what I eat and even increasing the resistance on the exercise bike that I use. FML
Today, I finally weighed myself after going on a strict diet of only fruits, vegetables, and coffee. I gained weight. FML
Today, after a full year of vigorous exercise 7 days a week, and a strict diet of vegetables, fruits, and water, I can proudly say that I've lost half a pound. FML
Today, after drastically changing my diet, going to the gym regularly, avoiding excess sugar and carbs, upping my protein, I’m still as fat as ever. In fact I weighed myself this morning, and I’ve gained 12lbs in 2 weeks. FML
Today, I went in for a doctor's appointment. When I got on the scale, I was really excited to see that I'd lost ten pounds since the last time I weighed myself at the gym. The doctor then severely lectured me on the fact that I had gained twenty since my visit last year. FML
Today, stepping on a scale for the first time in years, I had to lift up my stomach to see the number. FML
Today, I stepped on the scale because I'm trying to maintain a good weight. The scale read that I had lost 6 pounds. Feeling really good about myself, I stepped off the scale only to see that the corner of the scale was sitting on the rug, making the scale mess up and tell me the wrong weight. FML
Today, it's my sixth month of working out 5 days a week, watching what I eat while my family eats like kings, and only losing 2lbs. It's also the day husband said he misses my 20 year-old body and no longer finds me attractive, but that's okay because he "loves me anyways and it's good to know where we stand." FML
Today, is the fourth day of my husband's and my new diet and exercise routine. I've already caught him eating junk food 4 times. He has lost 2 lbs and I've gained 3. FML

Muscle?

Muscle weighs more than fat. If you are excersizing and building muscle mass. That's why

Instead of weighing yourself, use a tape measure and measure yourself. If you have gained muscle, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Good luck!

Tis a tricky situation you're in, you've gotta weigh yourself enough to keep track but not obsess over it. Yes FYL, but like others have said it could be muscle mass which burns even more fat. :D

Fyl. You gained weight. No matter that muscle weighs more than fat, you must have cheated. You will not make more muscle weight than you lose in fat unless you aren't losing the fat. Your exercise is great but your diet isn't working.

For those asking how you gain weight on a diet. A diet is what you eat to sustain yourself. It isn't just a weight loss plan. As for gaining six pounds. How much cardio did you do and what were you eatin and how much? Just cause you changed your diet doesnt mean you'll lose weight if youre consuming the same amount of fats and carbs.

OP, you are getting alot of people who think they know what they are talking about spewing garbage they have heard on tv. I am a fitness instructor in the Army. If you are serious about getting in shape you need to talk to a physician and a personal trainer to come up with a diet and exercise plan that works and is safe for you. Follow the guidelines they set for you, and in a few short weeks you will see improvement.

Not necessarily. Diet and exercise doesn't work for everyone. Believe me I've tried and my fiancé is a personal trainer and has seen it first hand.

Which is why you also involve a physician. Sometimes there can be health reasons causing weight gain. A physician can help to diagnose such problems.

I've had full blood work ups done and everything by doctors and they can't find anything medically wrong with me for why I can only lose a certain amount of weight. It's just my genetics and that's something you can't do anything about.
