    You could run a marathon and not burn 3200 calories.
    Scales are inaccurate, weight flucuates, fitbit overestimates. Forget about it.

    I get it. I look stupid for saying I burned 3200 calories, I just thought fitbit was correct. My bad

    I dont' think you look stupid. I don't thin that poster meant to make you feel stupid, they were trying to make you not care about the little details, like scale fluctations or the occasion higher calorie day.

    I'm one of those people who obsess over their weight, I know it's not healthy but I can't control it

    actually you could learn to control it if you wanted to. which is something you should really consider so that you have a more healthy mental attitude to your health, your body and weight loss.

    Your over-reaction to eating at maintenance is worrying. As is your statement that you're obsessed with the scale. You could be heading too far in the other direction from what got you to be overweight/obese. I think it's time to seek help and nip this in the bud.

    I am in the same boat except my scale is up 7! Eek! I wish I wasn't so depressed over it and a number on the scale but I am.

    Hang in there. It doesn't mean that tomorrow you will wake up with all the hard work erased. It just happens. Drink more water and dial in nutrition. Nothing too extreme. Just get back at it and it will fall off.

    Most likely you are retaining water... probably ate something with lots of sodium. Drink lots of water and in a few days you'll be back to "normal" :)

    I notice the scale edges up a little when I don't drink enough water.

    3200cal, marathon? Half iron man?

    That's about 4 hours of working out pretty damn hard. So unless you did something similar here's your problem

    I actually did work out for 3 1/2 hours.

    What did you do for 3 1/2 hours?

    But no, it isn' tpossible to gain 5lbs of fat in 1 day.

    Eliptical, tredmil, stationary bike.

    Maybe the numbers are wrong, but that's what fitbit calculated

    3200 for your overall day or for just the workouts?
    It would make more sense that the 3200 was your TDEE that day due to the exercise.

    And, the increased exercise most likely caused you to retain fluid.
