    This really IS a must read for everyone!! before I understood this I got discouraged and gave up. Now I anticipate it and it's no big deal. I even asked a trainer about it and they had no idea. this should really be more common knowledge (instead of everyone saying you gained 4 pounds of muscle overnight).

    Thank you SO much for posting this! My weight has been fluctuating like crazy and after reading your article I looked at my calendar and I am right in that 3-4 week stage! I was getting a little frustrated because I wasn't sure what was going on...so this totally made me lose the frustration and got me back on track!

    Thanks for posting. This explains my 3 - 4lb weight gain after I ran a marathon 2 weeks ago. Back to my normal weight now. Good information

    BUMP! I started working out a little over a week ago and have gained a little over 4 pounds! Yikes! My common sense told me that it could not be calorie related due to the fact that I am very strict. However, reading this helped me make sense of what is going on!! Thank you.

    You can gain water weight and still loose inches, don't worry.

    Thank you for this! I've moved up to level 2 of 30DS and I've put 4lb on! I was just about ready to give up seeing as killing myself each day has made no difference and I've put weight on so I am sooooo happy to read this! I've barely been able to walk with muscle soreness so it must be the reason!

    Thank you! You may have just saved me from a massive binge and having to start all over again!

    OMG! Im so happy to read this. I've been walking most day doing 30 t0 45 mins each time. I went out and brought a Elliptical Trainer and my weight has increased 1kg and it wont move. I was getting really upset and disheartened. Thank you. I'll stick with it.
