    I've done that but its only had shown a pound- a pound and a half gain and I have pretty long hair. After a few hours it goes right back to normal. Maybe your scale is messing up?

    I've weighed myself after a shower and weighed a lot more. I cannot tell you why exactly, but I knew it wasn't accurate. Don't feel bad about it, and just ignore it. Just go with your regular weigh in weight, that is the one that is accurate.

    I DID have my hair up in a towel, which I didn't even think about until I saw some of you mention it, so maybe the towel itself was a good part of the "gain". It IS a super fluffy towel you know!! LOL.

    Anyway, I will weigh-in again tomorrow morning, PRE-shower, and see what happens...

    THANKS for all the replies, EVERYONE!!!!! :D

    Um wow. :noway:

    Your scale might have fluctuations, like, depending on how you stand on the scale, (pressing down with your feet or not)... it can show a fluctuation 3 seconds between each time you stand on it.

    I have experienced that almost every time I took shower and I just thought it was only my perception but with your post it seems to be something serious. Yes, I have seen my weight going up by a pound immediately after shower. I don' t have long hair so, it has nothing to do with wet hair...

    Just to clarify.... You had wet hair and a towel round your head but you didn't think that would make you heavier?

    LOLing just a little bit....

    WOW!

    Skin and hair both absorb water. If you know you've eaten well then that extra "gain" is most likely water weight.

    edit: just saw the date. Nevermind. What's with the zombie thread?
