Somehow gained weight, help!

sidy24

I have somehow gained an extra kg over the past two days, I have been following the calorie plan, how did this happen and how can I stop it? I went over my sodium levels by having a soup, could this have caused it?

Don't panic, its probably just water weight. It is essential to never over react to your scale or you will soon throw it out the window trust me on that one. I would just relax and stick to your regimen maybe increase your cardio a bit and try again in a couple of weeks. Your weight will fluctuate it is not a direct decline. You will have some linearity along the way.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

did you weigh in the am or pm? You may be carrying extra water weight. I weighed 2 pounds heavier in the evening one day and about cried - the next morning, whew! it was gone.

Are you pmsing? Some women gain just before their period due to water retention.

I weigh myself at the same time in the morning, three times a week. Am I just being pedantic? I was so excited at losing those first few kgs, I started weighing myself more often! Should I drink more water, or less, or just keep going as is?

Don't worry - take an average over a few days and keep drinking plenty or water you'll be fine.
My weight does crazy things round that TOM too.

why on earth you would weigh yourself at night, then the next morning (after taking a s*it) weight again and see you're lighter and simply think that you have 'lost fat' is beyond me.
