Freak out. It's not water weight. Water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon. Water weighed 8.34 pounds per gallon last week, and it'll weigh 8.34 pounds next week.

Nothing has changed. Freak out.

Right...because we all maintain the exact same volume of water in our bodies at all times!! Time to panic!!

You didn't know that we each have exactly one gallon of water in our bodies?

Well I actually have 1 1/2, but that's only because I'm Batman.

I'd say more like aqua-man. Can I ride your sea horse?

Take it how ever you would like, I'd ask some follow-ups, but this isn't the correct forum.

LOL right!!

We NEVER see a thread that says "Help! I lost 3 pounds in 5 days. How is this possible when I'm eating at a 500/day deficit and eating back half my exercise cals. I'm not starving myself or anything. That would mean I had a deficit of 10,000 cals in 5 days." LOL

I gained that exact amount last week and realized I was growing a third arm on my right side. I would definitely consider freaking out if I were you. Or it might be water weight.

But that could be useful. For example, you could play video games and scratch your nose without pausing.

That's exactly why I stopped being a slave to the scale. Spread out your scale visits. If weight keeps rising, then either you're not counting accurately, or there's something else going on.

I gained three pounds since yesterday. Meh, whatever. It doesn't matter, day to day. Trend it out by weighing yourself weekly.
Plus you already said you know it's water weight, so what's the big deal?
