Exercising before weigh in

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 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.
