Is it possible to gain 8 pounds in 5 days.I am mid cycle and 5 days ago I was down 8 pounds now I am up and so depressed.I have posted about this earlier but I seem to keep gaining.Could it be water or what I can't stop worrying and my cravings have been horrible for the past two days.I need to gain control again.I don't want to change my ticker because I know I will get discouraged.Someone help please.

    nope not at all unless you ate an additional 17,500 calories in those 5 days. it takes 3500 calories to lose or gain a lb.

    I never :noway: weigh myself during my period. because of water retention/bloating.

    no. its all water retention. wait a few days after your cycle is over before you weigh yourself again.
