LOTS OF WATER BUT NO TRIPS TO THE BATHROOM?

Maybe you were dehydrated to begin with. You could be retaining it becuase of TOM.

wait and see what happens in a few days to a week.

Time of month.
Period.

If you make your food diary public, maybe I can help.

You could be retaining it. Are your feet swollen? Hands? Face?

To accurately determine if you are getting rid of it you would have to measure intake and output.

Just give it some time, it might take your body a while to realize it will be getting the fluids it needs so its holding on to it.

also just a note. not trying to be rude but a lot of people on the site get aggravated by all caps :flowerforyou:

if youre not sweating a lot or swelling up i'm going to guess that you were dehydrated to start with. Just keep going, it often takes your body a few weeks to catch up with changes

Don't fret, for some people (myself included) it can take as long as a month to see results. A week is not a long enough time to see results.

There's a variety of reasons you could of gained a pound.
1. Retaining water
2. Your muscle is building up faster than your losing fat
3. Your body hasn't adjusted to your not regime.

There's more than this, but this is just to name a few. Keep at it, you'll eventually see results.

For some people it can take months to see results as well so keep this in mind. Also focus more on what you feel. Like do you clothes feel not so tight? Also measure yourself about one time every 2 or 3 weeks. Thats a better way to see your weight loss than the scale.

When you exercise or lift weights your muscles actually "hold" more water. If you are sweating alot when you exercise, you may not pee out all the extra fluids you are taking in. Maybe you just have an extra strong bladder and you don't have to pee as often as most of us... However, as one who has gained/lost weight off and on for the last 9 years due to pregnancies, I know that you may or may not see instant results after one week of exercise... In fact, this last time, maybe due to the fact that I am "older" now, it took me 2 weeks to see a 1 pound loss*. And when TOM comes around, I gain about 3-5 pounds just in water weight, and then when TOM leaves, I instantly lose that weight again. *Note: It took me 18 months of faithful exercise (not always great diet) to lose 30 pounds. I joined MFP to try to get those last nagging 5-10 pounds off, because I haven't lost in over 4 months and I have been running at least 9 miles a week, sometimes more.

We all get on that "plateau" from time to time. Just keep on keeping on and you will see results... And muscle weighs more than fat, so even if you don't see a difference on the scale you *may* see a difference in the way your clothes feel.

Not to be graphic and all, but make sure to note your urine color, too. If it is coming out more clear, you are properly hydrated. If it's got more deep yellowish color to it, you still need more water. I wasn't drinking enough water and got some blood results back with conditions all links to dehydration. I've started to increase my intake and I was the same way; going to the bathroom JUST as often with no increase. But, I DID notice the change in color. Make sure to watch that also because that can tell you a lot about whether you are getting too much or too little hydration.

oops double post xD
