Woke up this morning and I'm a pound heavier than I have been all week. Never went over my calories, in fact, i have been under them quite a few days just because I am struggling to get them all in. Only went over sodium A LOT once.

Is it because I only got 3 hours of sleep last night??

    Could be a combination of things. Keep your eye on it though...

    when I don't get enough sleep my body hangs on to weight. Once I have a good nights sleep usually weight goes down

    That's frustrating, I know. I was up 1 pound from a couple of days ago. The only thing I can suggest is to drink more water, and weigh less frequently. There is a lot of fluctuation during the week and those in between weigh-ins can throw you off, if you let them. Good luck this week!

    Could definitely be. But your weight will fluctuate alot, it all just depends on how much you're exercising. I know I retain a bit of water after a good workout, but everyone's different.

    Anywhere near your period? Are you stressed? That sodium overage could definitely do it. Have you lifted recently? All of these will make you retain water. If your eating is in check, you are fine. Do not panic, this too shall pass =)

    Going over on the sodium can mean you've held onto water, that could explain it. Also, are you weighing yourself multiple times per week? I know fluctuations can happen and are disheartening, so try not to weigh myself that frequently...the overall change is more important and size/figure rather than weight. Good luck :)

    I went over in sodium at 3,000 mg + a few days ago, my body could be holding on to that?

    I havent worked out in just over a week, I've been finishing up this online class which is taking all my time. And making me stay up late!

    They should properly introduce themselves before they pull that crap.

    Honestly, I can vary by up to three pounds in one day sometimes. I've measured. When I see a pound or whatever in a day, I don't worry about it, but that's just me. I only worry if it stays that way for a week or whatever.

    if your exercising involves lifting weights and such you could gain weight....or you have excess water in you that will go away
