    Intense, or more intense than you're used to, exercise can cause temporary fluid retention, which causes temporary increases on the scale.

    It's perfectly normal.

    You shouldn't weight yourself every day - it will always give you a different result!
    Weight yourself at the same time, on the same day - only once a week i.e. every Friday morning at 7am
    This will give you a better idea of how you're tracking :smile:
