Caloric Intake & Fitness Question: I'm 5'1" and currently 112lbs (started at 108 two weeks ago).

Question

I had reduced my caloric intake and increased my workouts in order to lose weight (I used to weigh 135). I want to lose about 10lbs. I have been eating healthy meals with whole grains, fresh fruits & veggies and protein and I stop eating 3 hours before going to bed. I also drink about 84oz of water. I work out at least 6 times a week for either 40 minutes on a bike (about 11 miles) or 1-2 Tae Bo videos. I noticed a couple weeks ago that I wasn't eating at least 1,200 calories and had been doing so for a while, I think my body may have been in stavation mode because I stopped losing weight but maintained. So the past 2 weeks I've been trying to take in 1,200-1,400 cals. However, since doing so I have gained 4 lbs (I started at 108 two weeks ago). Is this normal to gain weight while my body adjusts, even while continuing exercise. How long should I typically gain before I start losing again? Also, I have been gradually increasing the intesity of my workouts to burn more. Thanks

mandylove - yes, I use the bathroom about every hour. I like to keep my body flushed because I'm prone to UTIs. I sweat a LOT during workouts as well, since I mostly do cardio and some resistance training with Tae Bo. 84oz is not too much.

I just got a Health-o-meter scale that measures my % body fat so I will be watching that to determine if the weight is from muscle.

Answer 1

Remember muscle weighs more than fat! If you are gaining muscle but losing fat, it is normal to gain weight. Measure your FAT loss, not your WEIGHT loss. Even if you are gaining weight, your clothes will fit better or you will need a smaller size because the fat percentage will be going down :0) Kepp motivated by how you look and feel, not by how much you weigh !!
