      WOW - thanks so much for sharing this....It is nice to read this from an expert like Charlene (I love her). It is frustrating especially for women like me who desperately wants to see a drop in the scale after starting a new program. It is a nice reminder that it is normal to see a "gain" before a big drop. Thanks again for posting this article - greatly appreciated!!!

      Thanks so much for the article, I am on week 4 day 2 of couch to 5k and I have just now started to see the scale move downward. I actually gain a couple pounds and stayed there. I assume when I start week 5 it will go up again because it is more intense.

      Thanks so much for sharing this. That would explain why I gained weight when I tried 30DS, I have actually put off trying it again because of this. I will try again :)

      Bump, keeping this going for others to read. Especially for those who ask me why they are gaining instead of losing.

      Great Article.. I've ALWAYS heard this, but never truly understood..it has actually discouraged me from starting a workout regime in the past, because I KNEW I would see an increase, and I KNEW I could not take that discouragement at that time.. To hear it from a good source, and to know it does go away after about 2 weeks, that helps..I'll hang onto that knowledge.. THANKS

      Thank you for posting this, very helpful! I'm a week and a half in to getting back into my strength training....sore as all heck! And was actually feeling like I gained weight but resisted the urge to jump on the scale knowing that if I saw too much of a jump I would be discouraged. This article was a great motivator to help me hang in there!!!!!!
