So about a month ago I started working out again and I weighed 184.5 lbs. I started a loading phase for creatine and when I weighed in the next week I was 190 lbs. my diet hasn't changed but since that first week I dropped back down to 185 lbs. Is the weight I gained in that initial week likely to be water weight? I drink a lot of water throughout the day, often more then 8 glasses still. Also when I go off creatine will I lose any water weight I gained?

    Yes, it was probably water, but you've also probably already lost it, so no, you shouldn't drop 5 lbs if you go off the creatine. I don't bother with loading phases any more, and I don't get the bloat any more either - it seems to be just the large doses that bring it on.
