Started lifting weights again this week and it seems to have added to my weight instead of subtracting. I know this is just a temporary setback which should help me to actually lose weight faster. The running is going well. I have really picked up the pace since I ran the 5K. The speed feels good. I hope I can build up my VOMax before the 10K in May. The Monument 10K will be a good gauge of how my training is going.

Yes, remember when starting new exercise (especially weight lifting), your muscles retain water to help them heal (they get little tears), which can show up as a gain on the scale. In the long run, you will be fitter, firmer and healthier. The scale is only one way to measure success.
