When beginning a new exercise program, is it true that you may gain weight in muscle first, and then lose fat?



I recently started my own exercise program. I spend about 5 days a week at the gym and usually exercise between 1 (a short workout) to 2 and a half hours. I usually run, bike, do the stairmaster, work with an exercise ball & medicine ball for tone, and lift weights.
I gained about 3-4 pounds the past couples weeks---is this likely to be muscle? And will the fat I'm looking to lose start coming off soon after?

As far as diet goes, all I've done is cut back on junk and try to keep all my portion sizes logical---but nothing too serious.

Yes, a pound of fat and a pound of muscle both weigh a pound, however a pound of muscle takes up much less space. Are your clothes fitting looser? Are you feeling better?

Baby steps, you'll get there.
yes. first u gain weight when u loose. then u loose it and tend to loose more. and more.
YEP
well muscles way more then fat! so if you find you way more...that means you have just gained more muslces...that is IF you excercise

I think you are on a good path. {He said as he sat on his fat bottom}
As you work out, remember to track inches, not pounds.You new improved muscles are going to weigh more, but it's a GOOD kind of "more" so don't track your weight, but rather how well your clothes fit.
yes
