I find if I do a lot of exercise I have a temporary gain, AFAIK it's because
muscles retain fluid but I can't remember why they do, I'm sure someone can
explain it.

Have you been OP all week?
But you have started exercising in the last week or so, or you have
recently upped your exercise significantly?
Then it's probably just water weight.

Stay OP and stay with the exercise, and the water will go.

Good luck

For me, it usually takes a day or 2. Ditto with a salty meal.

It could be that you are building muscle which the say weighs more than fat but burns more calories. Hopefully next week will be better.

Don't pannick! Sometimes that happens when you exercise. I think it's
something about the body retaining water that the body needs to recover.
Also have you been eating salty meals? Whichever it is, you should have
nice loss next week. Wish you luck.

Thanks for the encouragement y'all. I'm not giving up, I was a little bummed
out though.

I'm going by memory here, from posts I've seen from you throughout the week.
Haven't you just begun exercising recently? If so, your muscles are more than
likely hanging onto water while repairing the stress on them from the new
activity. This happened to me also, still does on occassion when I try to push
too hard, too fast. It takes awhile for the body to let go of the water, took me
a good two weeks in the beginning.

Just a suggestion from the non-exercise guru in the bunch ...

I read elsewhere that you were walking a mile a day, at a pace of 2MPH. This is a
great start, won't totally burn you out from overdoing in the beginning. Then I
read that you added the incline into the routine already. Myself, I would work on
the distance and speed first ... start gradually increasing the incline when you
can get your speed up to a cardio level maybe? I think I read somewhere recently
that a walking cardio level should be between 3MPH and 3.5 MPH - not too sure of
that though. The incline is a great workout, I love it myself - but I also didn't
add it until I was consistently up in speed and duration, as I felt it was tougher
on the legs (which may be why your body is hanging on to fluids???), thus causing
me to tire out faster. I've been working on the treadmill for many months now,
walk at 4MPH and a varying incline level of 4-8 ... and I tell ya, I start feeling
it at 20 minutes when on the higher incline - start declining the incline and
immediately notice the difference. Maybe you could work a few days at your 2MPH
level for 30 minutes (1 mile), then increase the speed by .1 or .2 MPH (I'm making
the assumption your treadmill is similar to mine ... fan and all) - go for another
few days and up the speed again. If you keep the length of time the same, you
will notice you are walking a bit further each day. You will still get the same
benefits of the flat workout, without overtiring yourself in the early stages -
which often leads to early burnout. Save that tough stuff for later!

Just my 2 cents worth, anyway. G
