Muscle holds MUCH more water than fat does. Would that explain why so many of us here seem to notice/have water retention issues? Or is it just a female thing?
Here's a thought ...

Good thought.
Another possibility is that we know a bit more about physiology here than the average woman, and can differentiate excess water weight from excess fat weight. Your average gal would assume not fitting into her jeans meant she was getting fat, while we'd look to dietary or hormonal reasons first for the offending flesh.

....water retention is sub-Q......ie underneath the skin.
You are referring to what would amount to intramuscular water retention similar to creatine. So that would not really be a noticible cosmetic effect.

Hey now, Lobo! 
That's the SECOND comment in as many days about my highly developed, finely tuned questioning skills. (heh heh)
Why do I get the sneaking feeling I've developed a bit of a reputation here?
What did you guys use to do before I came along, I wonder? I can imagine you sitting there at your keyboards, cleaning your nails with toothpicks, picking the oatmeal out of your teeth and sighing loudly with bored frustration as the same old, same old Jennifer Lopez threads came bumping to the top ....
BWWWWWAAAAA haaaa haa lol ho ho hee hee.
I LOVE this board almost as much as I love training. (working furiously on next annoying and unsolvable question ...)
Oh, and thanks, Corn, for blowing my ONE thought of the year right out of the water!
Sigh. Back to the drawing board ...
