As I scan through this site, I see SO many people uninformed about the roles diet and exercise truly play on our weight loss journey.
Just about ANY doctor will tell you that weight gain/weight loss is 80% NUTRITION & 20% EXERCISE. That means there is no "making up" for eating that donut by running an extra couple of miles on the treadmill. If that's the philosophy, it will fail. No one can exercise enough to keep up with a piss poor diet, period.
I also see a lot of people working their tushes off at the gym, only ending up frustrated when the scale doesn't move. That leads me to the second little tidbit of information: when your body is subjected to new or intense activity, it gets sore. That soreness is there because your muscles are swollen & retaining water to protect themselves until they have time to repair. This means you may GAIN weight instead of LOSE weight at first. Give yourself 2 weeks on a new exercise plan before expecting that scale to move down very much. It may take that long before your muscles adapt and recover. You can read more about this here:

Always ALWAYS take measurements of your body. Weight on a scale isn't nearly as important as the clothing size you fit into, right? Then why focus on just weight?
