seriously watch your salt intake salt holds water... water = lbs.

that is the normal thing that most dieters do is get frustrated when they plateau or gain it is because their sedentary lifestyle is no more... and muscle starts to grow!!!
keep it up!
I'm with this guy. I have just recently gotten into bicycling but I can tell you from past experiences that when you start to plateau or even gain weight while eating properly and exercising it's almost always due to the fact that you are putting on muscle and losing fat.
Too many people worry about what number is on the scale. I tend to not weigh myself much and as long as my clothes gets looser and looser that's all I care about. I also measure distance and how long it takes to go that distance. There are a lot more and better metrics to determine overall health than some silly number on a scale.
