Did you get on the scale before or after your workout? I heard that you're not supposed to weigh yourself after cause it won't be accurate.

Sassalicious, muscle weighs more than fat, so perhaps you're gaining a lot of muscle? Also, if it's that time o' the month, you might be retaining water.
Today I tried my kickboxing dvd for the first time, and amazed myself that I was able to get through the whole thing without stopping! Go me!
I already feel better. Stronger, healthier, more flexible. Not sure if I've lost any inches around my midsection yet, but hopefully I will eventually. 
ETA: Well, exercise must be addicting, because I felt compelled to go for a quick jog tonight. The weather was beautiful, so I took advantage of it. Add about 3/4 of a mile at a nice jogging pace to my workout for today.

I got the smiley my friend. No worries. The internet doesn't really humor or sarcasm too well.

Hit the weights pretty hard yesterday. Got in 40 minutes & upped my weight on each set a bit over what I have been using. Working out w/ the wife is really helping as it gives me someone to kind of cheer me on.
I upped my time on the cross training machine too. Up to 15 minutes where I had only been doing 12-13 before. Burned 125 calories that way. Got in 5 miles on the stationary bike on the incline, which burned 160 calories. We then hit the treadmills for 25 minutes & burned another 200 calories jogging.
I was a bit beat when I got home, but a hot shower took care of that.
Tonight is heavy cardio. I am actually looking forward to it.

Got in a pilates workout today. Really focused on my abs--ow! Feeling good though.
This makes 10 out of the past 11 days that I've worked out! I am so incredibly proud of myself, but I really think I wouldn't have been able to keep this up without the encouragement from you all. I like being able to report my progess, so thanks for listening!

I hear you on the excitement of coming here and reporting on my progress. It's really helpful.
I worked out tonight after I was finished with work. Spent 30 minutes on the elliptical and another 15-20 on the treadmill. Burned about 600 cals, so I'm content.
Now I'm off to sleep. Happy Friday!

I know that if I didn't have these threads to report to, that I wouldn't have gotten to where I am right now.
Just finished my workout, check day 5, week goal acheived
General update, more tone in the muscles (it's starting to look like I have some ) and my spare tire is disappearing! Shiny day

Spent 30 minutes on the elliptical today and it felt great. Would have liked to have done more, but alas the gym was closing at 9.
In other news, my ipod went sailng of the elliptical while I was working out. Thankfully it still works.
