Well, I had a small gain this week, up 1.5 lbs. I am thinking that it might be because I worked out before my weigh in. I typically get up and spend some time doing some things around the house and then go to my Saturday meeting. I don't eat or drink a thing before weighing in. This week, I got up and went to water aerobics class and did that for an hour, then drank a full bottle (1/2 liter) of water and then went to weigh in. I also did an hour of water aerobics last night. Could it be that my muscles are holding on to fluids from the new activity? I know I am not upset by this gain, but am hoping that it will even out next week and I will be on the losing side again.
I'm not sure if it was the exercise before WI or the 1/2 liter of water you drank. I've weighed myself before and after a Curves session as a test one day. I actually lost a pound during the session.

I never do much the day before WI as I find any movement makes me gain, Lee Deb in Northern California <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

I used to work out before my WI and always showed a loss. Now I weigh in on Saturday mornings so I cannot work out before. I think that working out would make you lose weight but that is just my personal experience. I was lifting weights and walking on the treadmill---not doing water aerobics.
If I work out hard, I generally show a temporary gain at the scale. If my muscles are sore, I will definitely show a big gain. I don't exercise at all on the morning of my weigh-in and I keep my workout the day before to a familiar routine that will not make me sore. I know it is not a real gain, but it feels good to get confirmation of weight loss on weigh- in day. Of course, the liter of water will show up at the scale in spades as well.

Hi, Deb, Either the exercise or the water could have caused the gain. It will be interesting to see how you do next week. -- Take Care Catherine 154/133.6/136 Lifetime 6/99 Next personal goal 132

Movement before I weigh in seems to make me gain Deb. Betcha have a whoosh next week! -- Brenda 209/188/150
