Where does the rapid weight gain while on creatine come from?

I’ve been on creatine for almost 2 weeks now and I’ve gained over 10 lbs, but I don’t look any bigger. So where does this gain come from?

Water. The stuff in creatine makes you retain water. I’ve known several people who, as soon as they stop taking the creatine, lose the weight real quick, due to their body no longer retaining it.
