Gained weight?

Ive been losing a pound a week for the last 4 months. But today my weight went up 2 pounds how did that happen? My diet hasn't changed or water intake. And working out the same as I have been.

In what length of time? If it's only a week or two, weight loss isn't linear.

It was less than a week. I've just never seen this. If my weight isnt going down it stays the same.

There are a number of factors that can cause this: higher than normal carb/sodium intake, hormones (especially those related to your menstrual cycle), stress, lack of sleep, new or increased exercise. It's nothing to worry about as it happens to everyone. If you go 3-4 weeks without seeing a loss, however, then you'll want to look into tightening up your logging.
