Ok /fit/, I need a little help here.

I did not lose any weight this week (gained a pound actually) and I'm struggling to understand why. I'm 6'3, 301 lbs, and male. My diet consists of a 2,000 calorie/day limit, broken up usually into 5-6 healthy meals. I walk for 60 min, 6 days/week.

For about 8 weeks now with this plan, I have lost 4-5 lbs per week. The only change to speak of is that at the end of my walks I've started to do aerobic interval training (jog for a bit, power-walk for a bit, rinse, repeat). Could this be the cause of my weight gain (leg muscle building or something...?), or has my fat ass hit a plateau already?

tl;dr - How did I gain weight without breaking my diet/exercise regimen?

Run more, walk less. Be patient.

Weight can go up and down 5lb due to water and how much you eat and when the last time you had a shit.

I advise you to buy some free weights and do them also, they burn calories and add muscle.

Remeber scales aren't the only way to criticize yourself a mirror is really handly also.

Actually, I do have some free weights that I use regularly. I'm just so frustrated with this bullshit weight gain that I left it out.

it's one week, you shouldn't fret over it, just keep working hard and you'll push through it

Put the free weights to more use, if you'll have more muscle then you'll have more shit that can burn calories. And eventually you do wanna look good and you need muscles for that.

Turn your routine more anaerobic.
Sprint. That is all.

At your weight, sprinting might not be the BEST idea as yet. The only way to know for sure is to try it and see how your knees react.

What you might want, though, is a tape measurer. Record your various girths and use them as comparative measures. Do your thighs, waist, chest, biceps, etc. If you don't wear belts regularly, switch to them. They're a pretty good measure of whether you're losing or gaining (over the long haul...they can vary widely day to day).
