What happened? I'm pretty confused here.

before I worked out I weighed 115,

a couple hours later, I got on the scale again to prove to my cousin my weight and the scale read 117?! what happened?! all I ate after my workout was some fruit...

Something tells me you're not using a scientific scale. Odds are your bathroom scale is off by a few pounds, maybe you're reading it wrong the first time. Overall I would say don't worry. Weight is NOT an indicator of fitness or health. If anything muscle weighs more than fat. Granted muscle mass wouldn't be built up over such a short period of time... But don't worry weight is just a number, worry about how you feel. Don't beat yourself up, just eat healthy , get good sleep, and practice proper exercise safety =)

Fruit is mostly water, and you're retaining the water, maybe because of your period, probably. Really you shouldn't watch your weight daily, it will drive you crazy. Once a week is plenty!

It's water weight probably.You won't get accurate numbers of your weight right after you have eaten something.I believe weighing yourelf in the morning after everything has digested down would be a more appropriate timing.And weighing yourself every couple of hours is not the way to go anyway. :/

Fruit has a lot of water in it. You just gained water weight. Liquids, healthy foods, everything you eat and drink because weight gain. When you sleep/use the bathroom you'll loose it.

Was it the same scale? Even if it was your body weight naturally fluctuates quite a bit during the day anyways...

It might just be muscle tone starting to set in. Food doesn't matter to much. When I stopped playing sports I noticed I started to lose weight due to my muscle mass depleting

Your body can fluctuate by like 5lbs all through out the day. It's water weight and no need to freak.

Your weight can fluctuate during the day by several pounds, just by eating, drinking, defecation and urination. That's why obsession with every single pound on a scale is pointless.

did you change into heavier clothes? and like the dude said water especially would do it

[Anonymous]

Your muscles had just been used and abused so they tend to weigh more.

Did you drink water during your workout?

[Rafael151]

Yes you have to include liquids at one lb for every 16oz of water, coffee, soda, milk or whatever.

you gained muscle?
