You walk onto the gym floor and you have an intense workout. Do you weigh more when you walk off the floor, muscles pumped, one or two hours later? No, unless you took in food or fluid, you probably weigh less.

Muscle is heavier than fat. If you're building muscle mass faster than you're losing fat, you'll actually gain weight, even though you're getting a lot healthier. Immediately after exercising, weighing yourself may show an increased weight of a pound or so due to the water you've been consuming. A liter of water weighs about 2 pounds, so it's possible your weight could show a little fluctuation. Nothing to be concerned about. because when you excersise you gain muscle and muscle is heavy

Yes and no. You look thinner because you are losing fat weight, but (depending on what kind of workout) you are gaining muscle weight. If your workout is more focused on building muscle tone, then you may gain a pound of two, because muscle weighs more than fat. But this weight gain should only be temporary because healthy muscle will burn the fat for fuel.
