Started going to the gym... gaining weight instead?

[Anonymous]

I have been going to the gym for a week now... doing 40-50 minutes of cardio along with eating healthy. So far I can't see a difference and when I stood on the scale today I gained a kilo! I don't have much weight to lose... about 2-3 kg but this is really putting me off now that I'm gaining instead. I really want to lose weight... what am i doing wrong?

It takes time and you have to remember that muscle weighs more than fat. Often times, it also can take 12 weeks to see any results because your body has to adjust to the change in lifestyle. This is probably why 70% of people who start a new fitness regime quit. Just keep working at it and you'll get there :)

A more efficient euro see progress is to take measurements

Could be building muscle or retaining more water, dont worry about the numbers. As long as you feel better its working

It takes time. Losing weight and being healthy is a lifestyle. Don't focus so much on the numbers.
