Is it true that right after you work out you weigh more than before you work out?
I went to the gym and then went to WW right after and I gained one pound this week, but I was very good this week, and drank all my water and excercised 3x a week. THey told me that if I worked out before I will have a falso weight gain. Is this true?

for the most accurate weight they say weigh yourself the minute you get up before eating at nite, you weigh more, after eating,etc.... so if you went to the gym after dinner, you probably did weigh more

No i didn't eat dinner, I alwyas go to WW at the same time before dinner, the only difference this week was that I went to the gym before, i normally don't go on Monday.
Sometimes I feel that they give you reasons for your weight gain at WW to make you feel better, but I know I should have lost.

Re: Question about weight?
you will definitely weight more right after you work out!! my nutrionist always says to get weighed BEFORE i work out.

I don't understand that either. I know you aren't supposed to get measured after you work out because your muscles swell but I don't understand how you can weigh say 120 before you work out and 122 about an hour later... when you are working out.

Re: Question about weight?
unless you are drinking a lot of water while you are working out the only think I can think of is muscle gain - but that seems to be too quick for that. Usually when you work out - you LOSE water when you sweat - which is how you can become dehydrated so I would say you wouldn't gain unless as yabbobay said you drank water

When you work out, your fat turns into muscle and muscle weighs more than fat.

I remember in WW they said it takes about 3 weeks for your body to get toned from the muscle.
