I've been on the LC for about a month and a half. I have steadily been losing weight (40 pounds so far) and have stalled a couple times which lasted for about a week but my weight just remained steady. These past couple days though I have gained about 6 pounds (From 204 back to 210). I have changed two things:

1) I have been taking "1 a day" vitamins for the past 3 days since I thought I would benefit from it cause I have cut almost all fruits.

2) I have been going to the gym for the first time since I started the diet.

It's discouraging when you see the scale go in the up direction when you're following everything to the dot. Is this just excess water that my body is storing due to the change in my increased daily activity? or could this be from the vitamins? I stopped the vitamins and going to give the gym a rest for a couple days to see what happens. I keep telling myself that it's impossible to gain 6 pounds of fat in 2 days but it would be nice to hear it from someone else.

Can anyone give me some encouraging explanation?
