Siren_Cytherea answered Saturday November 8 2008, 10:59 am: A fantastic general rule is: Don't listen to the scale if you work out.
If you're running every day, there's no way you could be gaining fat unless the only things you eat are junk food.
Also, measure yourself. You know, bust, waist, hips. If you're the same size or smaller, chances are it's muscle gain and not fat.
Go with how your clothes fit, not how heavy the scale says you are.
Scales say I weigh between 125 and 130, but my measurements are 34-26-34.
Scales don't measure fat, they measure weight. Muscle weighs more than fat, so it's entirely possible that in gaining muscle and losing fat, you have gained weight. As long as you yourself are not bigger, you have nothing to worry about.

If your diet is unhealthy you may gain weight even if you run everyday. It is most likely muscle weight, if you are very active, and it shouldn't be a massive weight gain.
Hope this helped :P [ Xxx-lulu269-xxX's advice column | Ask Xxx-lulu269-xxX A Question ]
