Most likely, it's water weight.  When you start a new workout routine, your muscles retain water for the first 4 - 6 weeks.  Give it another 2 - 3 weeks, and those extra pounds will drop off and your weight will go back down.

The walking 50 mins a day will do it, without even the hand weights...in time.  In 6-8 weeks you should see definite improvement.\nSauna belt is useless.

it takes about a good 3-4 months to start noticing some change.... but if you are really looking to bulk up it can take as along as a year and a half if you have good eating and work out habits

How long is a while and how much weight have you gained?  What kind of exercise are you doing?  How many calories are you eating?\n\nIf you've recently started weight training, you are likely retaining water weight in your muscles.  This tends to drop after 6 - 8 weeks of weight training.\n\nIt's also possible that you aren't eating enough calories or are eating too many calories.  I recommend the BMR/RMR and activity calculators at http://www.caloriesperhour.com  They are helpful for figuring out how many calories you should be eating.\n\nAnother good website is http://www.sparkpeople.com  You can plan meals, journal your eating, plan and journal your exercise, set and track goals.  It's a free website.

pray, but if u work at it hard you might see some results, i would have to disagree with the last girl about the vegitables cause u want to gain muscles in your abs, so id say go on a straight chicken breast diet, no salt, no sugar, for the 3 weeks, just water and chicken, maybe a protien shake every now and then as a meal replacement, and do alot of sit ups, maybe get a medicine ball and have someone toss it to you while you are doing your sit ups, or get some weight plates and put them on your chest while your doing sit ups lol, that just my thoughts

give it time it will go...it's mostley fluid but make sure you don't eat too much. It's not so much the situps and ab workouts you do because that will tone your muscles and get them into shape. It's how much fat that's on the outside so just watch your weight and give it time and your tummy will go down :)

There's no need to fret, you're way too young to be that worried about your weight, things fluctuate like that. Just don't skip breakfast, eat healthy and get lots of exercise to build muscle. That's always better than fat. If you are truly concerned, consult a doctor or a parent.

you shouldn't be on the same workout plan for over six weeks, for starters. you need to periodize your routine, change it up at least every 4 weeks. that will not only keep it more interesting, but it will also force your muscles to grow more, because if you're doing the same thing for 6 weeks at a time, your muscles have long since adapted & are not being challenged, and therefore are not growing. if you're trying to gain weight, have you tried a lean bulking diet? if not let me know & I will be more than happy to send you one that I've put people on & they've had great success (I've never done it simply because I've never tried to bulk, being a female, I just don't want to do that personally). Also, what kind of routine do you normally do???

I lost 35 pounds when I finally got the correct replacement dosage, but I have about 35 more to go and it's not budging even with gym and careful eating.  It's a drag, but at least I lost 35...

Hmm, you haven't seen any results in the fit of your clothes?  I'm not sure what weight you started at, but I have been on a similar regimen since May and I have definitely seen results.  My starting weight was 201 lbs, and I am now at 175; I have lost about 2.5" from my waist/abs, and most definitely I have had to buy new clothes (or tailor pants that I own).  However, the last 10 pounds is the toughest - I am at this point myself.  But  it sounds like you're doing the right things with alternating between strength training and running/cardio, keeping calorie count low, and watching what you eat.  All I can say is to keep it up.  Maybe for your body type, 4 months is not enough to see significant results, but you should come to a point where you will overcome this plateau.  Anyways, good luck.

you should not exceed 2lbs a week.\nQuestion- are you weight training, or doing body resistance (i.e. lifting weights, or pushups or sit ups, or things of the sort), if so you may be putting on muscle, which weighs more than fat.\nAlso, are you doing cardio (i.e. running, elliptical, etc) for 20 minutes with your heart rate at its target (i.e. 60-75% of it's max). If not you may not be burning fat.\nAnother question- are you cutting calories? or eating healthy? if you don't get a balanced diet you may not be getting the most from your metabolism.\n\n1) make sure you get the cardio\n2) weight train/do body resistance because the more lean mass the better your metabolism works\n3) make sure you're getting plenty of water\n4) cut the calories, but not too drastic.\n5) don't do anything that you can't keep up for basically the rest of your life or you will gain it all back.\n\nif you've done all this and you're still not loosing weight- talk to your doctor because your thyroid may not be working correctly. And don't diet, there are no good diets that will keep the weight off or they're unhealthy. this has to be a life change or else you will gain it all back plus more- I guarentee

I had lipo done on my stomach as well as my "love handles" 3 weeks ago and i am so happy with the results... i went to Tijuana Mexico becuase its so inexpensive there and i chose a surgeon who was educated here in the states... i couldnt be happier with the way i look..tell me this though besides the fact that you have had children ( i have 2 myself) how is the elasticity of your skin.. do you have a lot of stretch marks or did your skin bounce back fairly well ? that is what makes the difference becuase after they "suck out the fat cells" it takes a little while for your skin to adjust depending on the elasticity.. anyway feel free to IM or Email me with questions
