USMC the reason you stay the same weight after long exercise is due to micro tears in your muscle which cause your body to retain water.

Hence, inflammation.

What is your age USM? 52 here. In all of my data collection, charts and graph's since starting this, the most interesting, consistent and valid stat (for me) is comparing each morning weight to the prior 7th days weight. Even with days were certain parts of my diet are out of wack, and with some cheat days or days where I missed my calories in total, I have for some reason lowered my weight each day (compared to the prior 7th day) for 39 straight days.

I'm 42. Just getting to the point where stuff starts to break and the healing is slooooowww. I've got charts and graphs and am contemplating a power point (at least 60 slides) After the first week's water loss, I'm almost straight on 1.6 lbs down every Monday. But on Wednesdays/Thursdays the scale shows almost invariably 3 to 5 lbs less. Considering going back to college for a biology degree to help figure this one out.
