Gained two pounds in a week

Last week I was at 142-143 but when I weighed myself this week, I was back at 145-146. Any idea why? (I ate under the weekly calorie goal)

    Could be water retention. My weight fluctuates within 5 lbs either way sometimes depending on what I've eaten, and hormonal fluctuations. So my guess is water weight

    Going by your profile you've been doing this a few months already. Do you not normally fluctuate that much? My weight changes up to 8lbs within the course of one day. If you know you ate under goal then it will be water retention.
