i can't believe it
about two weeks ago I weighed 134 pounds. I wanted to lose some pounds and get fit so for about a week I ate 1000-1200 calories a day and worked out very heavily. at the end of the week was at 129, and had also lost 1% body fat! I was really excited so I continued doing that. This past week I have been eating about the same. I have also been exercising, except that instead of doing the elyptical machine, I have been running a lot. I've run 6 miles a day three times this past week!
I got on the scale tonight and I was 135 and my body fat had increased.
I was so excited about losing weight last week! what am I doing wrong, this just doesn't make sense! I have been exercising so much this week, biking, running, crunches.
please help, I felt so happy last week and now I feel even worse than before I started this whole thing

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
maybe its because of the time of day you weigh yourself.
eating throughout the day, can make you gain up to 10lbsof water weight by night.
when you sleep, you burn the water weight you gained. so when you first wake up and you weigh yourself, thats your "most accurate" weight.
you could've gained some muscle if your doing a lot of excersising. especially if your weightlifting more than 8lbs.
hope i helped.

Well first of all, if you normally eat 2000 calories a day, it's not healthy for you to suddenly jump to 1000.
And just so you know, muscle weighs more than fat. So if you've been gaining muscle and losing fat, you should be weighing more.

if you are doing alot more excerise what probley happend is you didnt gain like fatty weight you probley gained muscle. bc muscle weights like 3x more the like fatty weight(haha idk how else to say it).

How are you sure your body fat increased? Those scales aren't 100% accurate. And when you eat little , your body eats up muscle to change into fat. No person should lose 5 pounds in a week. If you do, that means you're losing muscle, not fat. The most you should be losing a week is 1 pound of fat. Eat 5 small meals a day instead of 3 big meals. Exercise. Make sure you aren't starving yourself. good luck.
