confused :(

Hello,
so i started clean eating and using mfp around 3 weeks ago.
i work out 6 days a week.
I lost 9lbs in 2 weeks but ive weighed myself today and ive gained 2lbs.
i dont understand why? ive not changed anything and stayed with in my macros.
Anyone able to help? Feel a bit deflated about this

You probably haven't actually gained 2 lbs-- your weight is just fluctuating. My weight can change by as much as 4 lbs over the course of a single day depending on how much salt I've eaten, how much water I've drunk, whether I weigh before or after pooping, etc.

Cut yourself some slack!
