Hi guys and girls, quick question..

About 2 weeks ago i injured my ankle playing football (soccer for the Americans :) ) and havent been able to train for those 2 weeks..anyway i got back in the gym yesterday, i thought i would do a 'light' work out to get my body back into things and on my way out a weighed myself as i usually do, i d put on 6lb's in those 2 weeks (i have to admit i did let the eating slip a little as well)...

i always have been able to put on weight quite easily, i think its probably because i use to be FAT, weighted 18st (252lbs), before i got my act together a few yrs back now, i m about 180lbs when fighting fit :)

Anyway i wasnt to bothered about this 6lb gain as like i said i put weight on easily. I ve been in the gym tonight and did my usual workout and weighed myself on the way out and i d lost 4lb's since yesterday!!!

Now my question is is that normal? I used the same scales, there pretty decent ones as well...anyone else done this? or explain it??

i think its really strange to lose 4lb's overnight, i wish i could do that everyday lol

Oh sorry, didnt turn out to be too quick did it...

I went to the gym for the first time in a while recently as well and was sweating like hell. Dunno if it was the same for you, but if so it's likely that you lost a few lbs in water weight.

The rest might be because of the time of day, as it's normal for your weight to go up and down during the day depending upon eating habits.

I went the same time both days, i wasnt really sweating anymore (at least that i noitced) and for the last few days i ve been back eating how i usually eat (ie healthy, no rubbish)...

Its weird, i agree its probably water weight...i should have weighed myself before i went back in on my first day, if i lost a few pounds after that first lighter session then it def was water weight...i ll weight myself again after the gym tomorrow night and see...

Sounds like water weight.
