Why do I gain weight when I exercise?

It seems like everytime I add exercise to my healthy eating I tend to gain weight instead of lose.  After several weeks of trying to be patient and give the exercise program (mostly aerobic walking) a chance, I tend to get frustrated and give up exercising because my goal is to lose weight not gain it.  Does this happen to anyone else?  Am I not giving exercise enough time to see the benefits?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your feed back I have a lot of fat to loss &  when I weighted in before my exercise routine this morning I was 242 after 245 (pretty discouraging!!!) Thank you again for clearing this up for me.

I see what you're saying but if muscle is denser than fat then 1cm3 of muscle weighs more than the equivalent in fat.

it is important to see the loss  weight in two different ways : loss pounds and body measurements (hips, waist, back, chest, thigh). if you are making exercise all days your body could gain weight but lossing fat and measurements. don't get frustated
