Just another one of God's little jokes... like why do men peak sexually at 19 and women at 35? It makes no sense. When your normally fat riddled body is deprived of fat for a time some mechanism kicks in that starts squirreling away every gram of fat you consume. To be successful you have to closely monitor your fat intake for a long time (years) in order to keep the weight off.

Depends on how much water you already hold. Some people could lose upto 7 lbs, but as soon as you drink fluid again, it will come back.

Not only does your weight differ from day to day, it fluctuates all day long.  Drinking the water probably made you gain that one pound.  Remember though that each time you eat, you are going to put some weight on your body, usually ounces, but still.  Its what your body does with the calories that is important.  The water will be released when you go to the bathroom, as will the food after your body takes from it what it needs.  My advice to you is to not stress over a pound, and quit obsessing over the scale.  Weigh yourself once a week instead of daily.  This method shows you better anyway, because it gives you a baseline that you can see change or unchange over time.

pounds are a form of measurment, their not a thing that can move. when you loose weight, sweat resets ur systems. its good for you and cools you down when you exercise. when you exercise your fat turns INTO muscle. so it doesnt go anywhere really. it turns into something new and healthy\nhope i helped :)

JenniferLynn is wrong. The ingredients in the pill changes your hormone levels and most likely thats why you gained some weight.Your hormone levels will return back to the way they where before you starting taking the pill, but it just takes a little time for it to get out of your system.So YES, you can get back to your old self(exercise or diet to lose the weight) and NO, your body wont store fat easier.

Well, that would make sense. You gained muscle from walking and swimming and still lost body fat, making you a dress size smaller. But because of the muscle increase, you noticed very little difference on the scales, even though you lost body fat. This is excellent, well done : )

The first few pounds will be water. You should measure yourself to see your advances.  If you're losing weight and not eating proteins, you can bet you're losing muscle.  If you're not losing weight but losing inches, that's the fat going down the drain and the muscle building up.  That's why a balanced program is so very important.  Godloveya.

Your body doesn't work that way.  When you burn calories, the body loses weight in a certain order.  Same with gaining weight.  You can't lose weight in only one specific area.  You can only tone the muscles in that area, but that won't make the fat go away there.

Another yo yo diet? You can loose a lot of weight by not drinking water. But loosing weight doesn't necessarily means gaining health. If you loose 14 pounds in 7 days, your body system may not be up to it, and it may crave for carbo and fat based food to restore its equilibrium.

In the first instance yes-you would lose water weight through sweating-BUT you will put that weight back on as soon as you drink again, which is often recommended after spending time in a steam room to prevent dehydration.  It wont help you lose body fat, only physical exercise and a balanced diet can do that.

first of all, it's absurd.  The body is 70% percent water which is found in the organs, skin, tissue and muscle.  The body HAS to have water to function.  What most diets and these silly rituals do is rid the skin first of water.  So of course you lose weight but you're losing the water in your skin.  Your fat's not going anywhere.  Fat is only burned when energy expelled uses it to function.  But it looks to the food sugars first.  The key is to not use pure sugars (or in moderation) so that the body goes to the fat for the energy it needs.  Wrap yourself in saran wrap and you'll end up crinkly and dizzy.  Then as soon as you drink anything, you;re right back to square one.  Think about this, if there was something so revolutionary, WE'D ALL be hearing about it on the news cause someone would become an instant billionaire from marketing it.  Instead, they're becoming billionaires by false advertising cause most people don't want to watch what they eat and excercise.

Diet pills and diets don't really help you lose pounds. You just lose water weight. One thing that really helped me with losing weight was drinking plenty of water, eating lots of vegetables for digestion and eater frequent smaller meals. That way your body isn't stressed out and holding onto extra weight because it thinks you're in starvation or stressful times.

Water weight is actually an excess of fluid caused by high salt intake.  A good way to lose it is to drink more water, use a diuretic such as cranberry juice or an over the counter drug.  You will instantly notice a reduction in bloat and fatigue.  Decrease your salt intake too.

Losing weight fast is usually just in the beginning and yes it's more water weight than anything else. It does provide a great incentive though to keep going. After that losing weight the slow way like you are doing is the best. It becomes a way of life as well and you'll stay in good shape.

It takes 3500 calories to either gain or loose a pound depending on if you are consuming or burning the calories.  You need to burn more than you consume and you will loose weight.

Sure!\nDoing all that physical work, you burned off a lot of fat. At the same time, you gained muscle. \nHowever, the amount of fat you lost is MORE than the muscle you gained. Therefore, even though muscle weighs more than fat, your weight stayed the same.\n\nExample: Let's say you lost 3 blobs of fat and gained 1 chunk of muscle. Let's also say that a blob weighs 3 pounds, and a chunk weighs 9 pounds.\nYou lost: 3 blobs x 3 pounds = 9 pounds\nYou gained: 1 chunk x 9 pounds = 9 pounds\nYour weight stayed the same.

Diets are unrealistic. Once you go off them, you gain your weight back. Try cutting out certain foods from your daily intake, and exercise, its the best way to loose weight the proper way
