    retaining water due to...
    excess sodium
    ovulation
    being close to your period
    increasing exercise

    or also possibly
    haven't had a good poop in a while

    If you have been eating good and within your calories don't worry about it. It will come off quickly. Your weight can fluctuate a pound or two in a day. It is probably just water weight. I kept hitting plateau's in my weight loss so I started making myself drink 72 oz of water everyday. Once I started doing that again I started losing weight again. I've already lost another 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks since I started doing that.

    Weight fluctuates everyday, if you're only weighing once a week you won't know if you're fluctuating the one day you weigh. If you weigh everyday you'll know when fluctuations are, and you'll know what your actual weight is. Not everyone likes weighing everyday of course, but it does take care of that problem.
