Body is in shock from running! How long 'til I lose the water weight?
While I feel amazing after running a mile the last 4 days.. (probably the first time I've ran a mile in a decade!!)
The scale is going up up & up!! I know it's just water weight but wondering how long I should expect the scale to stay up? I had a Halloween target and it's not looking like I'll make it if I don't lose the water weight!!
If you take a rest day or two, your muscles will flush out the extra water they pulled in as a result of your exercise. Drinking more water will actually help.

when i first started running, my body held onto its weight for a month and a half...seriously, not the slightest change EVER on the scale...i continued on, hoping i'd see a change...and then i took a short trip to the village, wasnt running for those few days, and came back and i'd lost 10 pounds in just 3 days...and the weight stayed off...i think somehow it just caught up to me then

thanks SO much for sharing this. Because the scale still hasn't budged for me! My thighs are looking kinda good though.. LOL!! So it must be making a difference!
