It is your muscles!! "MUSCLES WEIGH MORE THAN FAT", so if you are doing alot of excersices, it is "toning up your muscles" in which is explaining why you are seeing extra pounds on the scale.  It's not that you are getting fat sweetheart...just getting toned.  So SMILE!!!

Don't concern yourself so much about the loss of pounds, but more about changing your food habits. If you think about what things you are eating that cause you to gain weight & cut back on them, as well as maintain a moderate exercise routine, you should start to shed pounds. I have lost over 150 lbs. in the last few years & did not do one minute of dieting. I eat whatever I want but I keep in mind what I am eating & have trained myself to be aware of when I am full, etc. It takes awhile to make changes that will last a lifetime but, once made habit, you will be surprised at how easy it is to maintain whatever weight you wish & still not deny yourself what you want to eat.

but you haven't lost any pounds? maybe you've put on muscle *which weighs more than fat* \nmaybe you should change your bet to who can lose the most inches because thats really all that counts.. isn't it? Its what makes you skinnier.

I've been researching, and writing on, Nutrition and Health for over 30 years. See on my web site:-  http://www.foodforthought.org.uk/specific_probs.htm#Weight - follow the links for more information on underlying conditions that may be causing you to put weight on too easily. Put them right and you'll find it much easier to lose weight

It's possible that the weight fluctuations are due to your 'water weight'. It can be definitely possible to lose or gain at least 10 pounds from water weight alone.  As a wrestler in High School from extreme perspiration/heat or spitting (yes spitting) quite often we would be able to make our weight.

Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat, so you may be gaining muscle tone, in which case, looking at the scale is not going to help you gauge your progress.\n\nOr, if you aren't gaining any muscle, you may have a thyroid problem.  Sometimes, a person's thyroid can not produce the hormones necessary to aid in weight loss.\n\nAlso, before you see a doctor, how long have you been working out?  Some people have unrealistic expectations for how quickly they will lose weight.  It can take two weeks or more to see a difference at all, even if your friends did the same thing and lost weight more quickly than that.  Everyone has a different body with a different metabolism.\n\nWell, take all that into consideration, and if ya don't like it and you're doing everything right, see a doc.\n\nGood luck!

The weight loss could very well be the cause. When you lose weight, your hormones change. Providing you did not have sex. Otherwise wait and see. If you don't get it soon, speak to the school nurse. She will definitely be able to help you.

You might be gaining weight through your fat turning into muscle, which weighs more.\n\nI'd stop doing any weights in the gym, and do more cardiovascular work. If you get a bad back stick to more swimming- I'd go everyday if possible.

Yeah I've gained 40 pounds...it sucks. On the other hand though, it helps out a lot...the other part you have to do.

Losing weight is due to health risk, gaining weight is personal choice. There are so many health risks that come along with someone being obese. Someone who is trying to gain weight is considered healthy.

Try looking on www.differentu.com and look under weight management and look at nutritional shake mixes. They say weight loss but will also help you gain it just depends on how you use it. All you have to do to gain weight is take a shake with every meal you eat and thats it. You can add all types of things like fresh/frozen fruit, yogart, ice, etc. So check it out and see what you think. God bless you and I wish you the best!!

What kind of exercises are you doing? --  what are you eating?\n\nSome exercises are better for weight loss than others, some exercises are good to tune the heart and circulatory system, but do not do much for weight loss.  Check if the exercises you are doing are consistent with your goal.\n\nIt may not be the volume of food that you are eating, but how many calories, how much fat, etc. in what you are eating?  You could be eating less in volume, but taking in more sugars and fats.  Check if your diet is consistent with your goal.

You're leaving something out.  You're not being honest with yourself.  The bottom line is that if you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight.  If you're not losing weight, you're eating too much and not getting enough exercise.
