Like so many other busy women, you might also be trying to lose the proverbial "last 5 pounds". But don't despair if the scale says that you've actually gained a few pounds. These factors may skew your scale reading. From TCW magazine Nov 2006 edition:
-- Sneakers can add 2 lbs
-- A complete outfit (we aren't talking about sports bra and running shorts) can add 6 lbs
-- 24 oz of water can add 2 lbs
-- high fiber diet can add 3 lbs within 12-24 hrs
-- extra salt in a meal can add 4 lbs
-- constipation can add 2 - 6 lbs
-- an intense sweaty workout can subtract 5 lbs
-- alcohol can subtract 3 - 5 lbs until bodily fluids are replenished
-- low-carb diet can subtract 3 - 5 lbs
-- illness can subtract 5 lbs of water weight
-- caffeine can subtract 2 lbs over the course of the day
