    I am pretty much the same. I weigh myself every AM, no clothes on, first thing after peeing. Even 2 hours later, I will be up 2 pounds. This has been my pattern for years. When I first started riding, I would often lose weight after hard rides, but now, I don't. I don't notice much of the water weight gain that others mention after exercise; for me, it seems to just happen and I can't figure out the triggers. Usually, I will use some type of weight training/core workout to jump start a loss of this type of weight.
    I am long post-menopausal, but I used to gain 5 lbs. regularly, the week before my period. That was normal. I had to make sure my "regular" weight was lower, so my clothes would fit me throughout the month.
    My weight goes up after the weekend, when I eat out a lot and I eat more food than usual. I am fairly disciplined, but I cannot deny myself everything. Usually, by Tuesday, the extra pound or two is gone.

    These days, my weight will range from 128-131 (early morning, getting dressed for a run). Except for the few days before my period comes, when it can go as high as 133. I think it's mainly due to craving salty things that time of month...

    Up to about a pound and a half during the day. Long runs days (or when yellow comes to visit), increases that about another half pound.
