weight

A pint is a pound, the whole world 'round. Drink a pint, gain a pound. (It works in reverse, too. :D )
 
no, but don't expect to lose weight directly after working out. It's an on-going process and your body also continues to burn fat well after you are done your exercise. This may shock some, but the results of doing cardio and weight training activity is not simply just the exercise, but the shape that you put your body in to continuasly burn fat throughout your regular daily activities.
You should never stop drinking water. It's un-healthy. Also, drinking lots of water also curbs your appetite. You may be retaining some water, which could add a pound or two, but that extra water will always be there, so it's a variable that is constant (another reason to weigh yourself first thing in the morning).
 
Weighing yourself more than once a week is actually pretty distracting to your weight-loss efforts, and beyond that even looking at a weekly weigh-in number is pretty much useless. If you are going to gauge your progress by weight, then you should be using four-week rolling averages: Add up the weigh-ins from the last four weeks, and divide by four. Now you have a relatively decent estimate of what you really weight. Of course, that means that your weigh-ins for the first three weeks of your effort are practically useless. And that underscores how looking at the scale difference from one hour to the next is even more useless.
