Water Retention

Postby Zinkette99 » June 25th, 2006, 5:05 pm

Ok I am a dork and have a dumb question:

Everyone always talks about reasons people might have gained a pound or are losing slow. Often it is because of water retention. I am not that wise on the subject so I wanted to ask, What causes water retention? What are the major causes anyway? Exercise causes water retention? I know salt does.

Sorry if this is dumb but I really don't know too much about this.
