Water Retention??

Hi Everyone.

I am training for The 3 Day Walk. So this weekend I probably logged over 20 miles (10 yesterday), and I weighed 5 pounds MORE this morning than on Friday!!! What? I have been completely ON PROGRAM, and I just don't understand. Anyone else go through this? Could I be retaining Water? I don't know, I didn't eat 20,000 calories this weekend :wink2:

it could be Water retention...with alll that walking that u are doing, you are loosing water...through sweat. You need to make sure you keep ur body hydrated. On average you shoudl be getting 2litres of Water a day but with all that excercise im sure you will need a whole lot more!

When ur body hasnt got enough Fluid, its hold on to the suppllys that it has.

Try upping ur water intake and see if that helps

After a particularly strenuous workout if I haven't worked out in a while, I notice the scale goes up between 3-5 lbs for a few days. I'm thinking it must be Water retention.

You can also easily be building muscle. I've been running a lot (for the past month) and haven't lost a pound. This past week (glutenous behavior) being the exception - I was on plan for three weeks. By the book. I still gained weight. I lost body fat and inches though. If you haven't started measuring yourself, start. It can tell you more sometimes than the scale.< /p>
