Hi all I’ve started the plan, I’m being really strict and sticking to it but someone how gaining nearly 2kg could this be possible.
Im the beginner males weight loss however don’t stress and stick to the plan if you’ve never or haven’t trained for a while what you will get is DOMs which means your muscles etc will be inflamed therefore holding water etc
Keep going also I bet if you weighed yourself twice a day for a week you’d be surprised how mad your body weight changes through the week.
I can drop 2kg after a bath etc and also gain 3kg in a day from morning to night

Have you started taking the creatine included in the bundle too? I have been taking the creatine and I have also gained scale weight. This is due to increased water weight that will level out after 3/4 weeks (according to the research I have done).
Also the scale is one set of data, focus on other things that are better measurements for your success when building muscle and losing fat like measurements (measure your hips waist and chest, I’m sure they will be reducing every week). strength (can you do more reps? Are you increasing weights?) this is an excellent measure too.
don’t respond emotionally to the scales and continue doing the basics. Eventually you’ll have the “whoosh” effect when your body catches up and you’ll be down on the scales too.
GOOD LUCK

Thank you I have recently started the full bundle including creatine. I did think this was water weight because I feel myself that my hips are getting smaller and I am lifting heavier.

Could be the creatine, Doms, stress, lack of sleep, hormonal cycle, lack of hydration etc id look at those and if no change next week check with Lauren x well done for sticking to the plan, just don’t let the scales derail you from your goals. 
My advice would be to just not use any scales for atleast a month! Weight can change massively throughout the day and you wouldn’t expect it, if anything only weigh yourself once a week at the exact same time (after the toilet if possible haha) but yeah dont let the scales get you down, muscle is more dense than fat so you can be slimmer but technically heavier 
It might not help but I tend to carb cycle so when am training hard or intense I tend to eat more carbs on a Sunday (cheat meal) to Tuesday and then have a lower carb day the rest of the week or for the first few weeks when am trying to lose weight or have eating more rubbish food I.e over Christmas I just dropped the carbs out for a few weeks to help get more insulin resistance and I track all The food intake and weight my self daily or once a week and adjust my kcals or cardio a little more
Almost certainly water retention from the creatine if you’ve not taken it before - I would stick to looking at progress photos, tracking how you feel in the gym and see how your weight trends over the coming weeks 
This could most likely be a fluctuation and there are so many reasons why this has happened, but in females so common so don’t worry.
The change in diet, digestion, increasing training volume/intensity could contribute to this.
Depending on what type of relationship you have with the scales I ask my clients to check weight frequently in dieting phases, but I appreciate that’s not for everyone. However you could weigh again tomorrow and be back down again, so it’s peace of mind knowing it’s just a spike.
As long as everything is being tracked properly, you’re staying within that calorie deficit that has been set and you’re ticking the boxes with steps, exercise then keep going.
If this is continuing it would help to know starting weight, calories you’re on and what your training week looks like and I can help more x
Hey so I’ve lost a significant amount of weight over the last few years, and body fluctuations are normal , but scale tracking can be the best or worst thing you can do without much understanding
Body retains and drops water weight with many different factors like mentioned
I suggest to people I help to track weight daily same time over a few weeks or months and gauge the spikes especially women around menstrual cycle etc
I find when I have carbohydrates rice etc my weight spikes a bit and drops a few days later , perfectly normal so don’t victimise them more a understanding of what to expect
Creatine or training harder can cause a initial spike but does usually level off in time ahead ,
Don’t give up keep it going, I’ve lost 9.5st and the before and after are astonishing but the road wasn’t all downhill some bumps in the road are normal and it is a learning process

I started the creatine that came with the bundle and my scale weight (its been 3 weeks now) has increased by 3kg, this was really getting me down.
Today, I went to the gym and did my workout, I increased weight on my leg extension from 86kg to 93kg (I have been on 86kg for 7 weeks)! i also have put on a skirt I bought before christmas and it is loose around my waist and my stomach isn’t showing in it. When I bought it, it was very fitted (considering I am a day away from my period too, usually at this point, all my clothes feel super tight)! I have also had a week of festivities (a big fat asian wedding) last week where I did not track and indulged!
I am taking this as a huge win!! Do not rely solely on the scales! Remember to just keep inputting and your body will eventually respond!
WE ALL GOT THIS

Amazing! Don’t solely rely on scale weight to track progress. I’d recommend taking progress pictures and monitor at them and see progress that way.
Most importantly you’re seeing and feeling the benefits and that’s all that matters!! xx
