I lost three pounds this week?

Question

I just started high school field hockey preseason, so i have had an intense 2.5 hour workout for four days in a row now. The thing is i have lost 3 pounds, and now am at 97 pounds. Shouldn't i be gaining weight if anything since i am gaining muscle, which i can def. feel? What am i doing wrong?

btw i am 16 years old, and at the beginning of the week i weighed 100.

I know that i am small, and don't need to lose weight, that is why i was alarmed by this

Answer 1

IF you lose more I would get a doctor!

Answer 2

You probably just lost "water weight" from working out in the sun and sweating a lot. It's not a big deal as long as you replace those lost fluids. Drink lots of water!!

Answer 3

sorry to say this but you might need to eat some more

Answer 4

you weight fluctuates daily. that's not a big deal loosing 3 lbs. you will probably gain it back tomorrow. just remember to eat healthy

Answer 5

Haha, same thing happened to me one! =) It was a while ago at camp though. It's just that your body isn't so used to all that exercise because it's a fresh school year.Soon your body will adjust and you'll probably gain that weight back soon after.
