After reading a few posts on here last night i got completely annoyed with myself and jumped on my treadmill to workout for 30 minutes.....at 9 ocolock at night...(havent really worked out in a few months. Been lazy)
So why is it when i got up this morning and i weighed myself i was 1lb HEAVIER!!!???????? Ive actually maintained my weight since i stopped working out and the moment i do i gaint an effing pound??? WHAT IS THAT!!!?????
I was sooo pissed this morning i was ready to call in sick and just stay in bed and wallow about this 1lb!

It's probably your muscles beginning to retain water.

True! Di, this happens to me whenever I go back to the Gym! Just keep doing it and a lot more than that 1 pound will melt right off!

Laura, correct me if I'm soooo wrong please!
I think it's your body's natural response to straining your muscles. The water protects your body from further harm, so you get a little swollen. Think of a blister: Instead of a shoe rubbing your ankle to death and bleeding like crazy, water collects and forms a blister t protect you. I think it's like this with your muscles too.
Once your body realizes that working out is normal and your muscles get back in shape, you'll shed the extra water.

That's correct Becca. Almost everyone shows a slight gain in weight when they start working out if they haven't done so before (or in a long time). But keep it up and when your body realizes you're not planning to stop, it'll go away.
And remember:
No one ever got fat from EXERCISE!
