It shouldn't matter in the long run, though. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan

You won't lose ANY muscle mass (other than from water retention). Creatine is not like steroids. Chances are it will be about 4 lbs. -------------- "Don't follow leaders and watch your parking meters!" -- Bob Dylan

I would say I initially lost about three pounds, which seemed about equivalent to the water weight I put on from creatine. I did a cycle of 8-10 weeks on creatine. Initially, I put on about three pounds in the first 7-10 days (it obviously was not all muscle). After that my weight stabilized and stayed the same. However, my bodyfat started dropping along with my waist size so I assumed I was losing fat and gaining an equivalent amount of muscle. In my first week off of creatine I lost about two pounds. I have since gained the weight back, which I attribute to my increased calories as part of a new bulking cycle. I am starting a new loading phase tomorrow with creatine so expect my weight to jump again over the next week. -------------- Peter New York, New York
