Why no weight-loss after workout?
| Wed, 08-13-2008 - 9:37am |
Have anyone noticed the same thing or am I the only one to gain some weight OR to lose nothing the day AFTER a workout. I usually work out in the morning, eat normally during the day, but there no weight-loss the next morning...

Not necessarily had this issue...
I generally work out 5 days per week though, so in the 11 months it took me to lose weight, obviously sometimes it showed up on the scale the day after a workout!
You will not show a loss every day. You won't even show one every week. So MOST days there won't be a loss showing on the scale. I doubt its specifically related to the workout, its just normal. An isolated or individual workout does not cause weight loss, its a process, over the course of time - it takes many workouts, plus many days of healthy eating to all come together to add up to a loss. Its a cumulative thing, not a one shot deal.
Also - it is possible that you are retaining water after a workout. Especially if you did not drink enough water or if your muscles are very sore (fluids build up to help "heal" the muscle)

That happens to me fairly often but its because my body retains so much water.
Yes Yes Yes!!!
I am a teacher assistant that works with students with learning disabilities so I have my summers off. So I have lots of free time right now. I have a 16 year old daughter who is pretty self sufficent and likes having the house to herself when I am at the gym and when her dad is at work.
When school starts again, I will still do the same amount of workouts and time but I will do it right after school.
