I only take a Women's 1-A-Day Multi-vitamin, but I'm in a different phase.  I'm a gazillion years out and I eat a larger variety of nutrients now.  I only ever took the multi-vitamin, back in my day, that's all the Dr. recommended.   I tell ya, I lost a pile of hair and calcium though--effected my teeth and fingernails pretty bad for the first 5 years and I used to clog the shower drain with my hair every week.

I'm much more nutritionally balanced now.

Angie, there's no way that you gained a pound of "fat" overnight...unless you have a pound of food in your belly when you got on the scale (yes, that means bowels too).  That's most likely fluid retention or just a normal flux.  Are you drinking more water since joining the gym?  That happens to me.

My weight changes everyday....honestly by .5-1.5lbs.  I only count what I weigh on "weigh in day", once per week, but get on the scale daily.

Myself I would probably go down again for a couple days with cals, and if it stalls again, raise it up.  I only raise my cals when I stall (plateau buster) and lower cals when the scale goes up over 2lbs.  (This morning the scale showed 199.4 and yesterday was 198.4, and Monday was 198.0,....did I gain???.....NO!!  Just a fluctuation.)

I use a line graph, and even though I lose, gain, lose, gain, etc....it's still in a downwards trend overall.  ---Like a zigzag line.

You probably wouldn't notice the effects from the gym until the following week.  When I do an intense workout for a week (Mon-Fri), I don't see those results until the following mid-week instead of by Sunday night--it takes a couple days to adjust on the body. 

The only cardio I count is when my heart rate is above 140 bpm.  Other than that, it's just bonus physical activity and beats sitting on the couch.  

Let me know how it goes.
