I'm a skinny guy (6'1" - 155 lbs) and supplemented creatine this summer and it added about 10 lbs to my workout and I gained around 5 lbs. I went off about a couple weeks ago and so far I've lost 2 lbs. My weight and diet have been steady so the loss I attribute to water loss of creatine. I'm still lifting with the additional 10 lbs, so that wasnt a factor. Keep in mind, creatine is in meats and fish but in minimal amounts compared to amount needed to increase muscle size. Bodybuilding.com is a pretty good resource for creatine.
Just be sure to drink plenty of water while taking it.
