I starting working with a personal trainer about 2 weeks ago and now the scale is moving up instead of down.  It is very frustrating.  All along I have been losing at a pretty steady pace and now that i am trying to do the right thing and exercising I am gaining.  I just don't get it.  When will the scale start moving again?

The old adage is correct...muscle weighs more than fat...get off the scale and use your measuring tape instead.

Also up your intake of protein.

You're building muscle, silly.  You may still be losing fat, but muscle building has weight too.  Pay attention to your clothing sizes than the scale.  They'll help you feel better.
