I think patterns of water retention can vary from person to person. I had two xmas parties last weekend and yes I was up 3 lbs for most some of last week.. it was mostly in my abdomen though.. I don't think 2-3 lbs is that noticable. ps you'll only gain actual body mass if you go over your maintenance.. 1 lb of fat = 3500 cals over.

Odds are it's just water retention. I had food the other day that must've had a lot of sodium, because I was up 2 lb yesterday from the day before, so I've been chugging water to hopefully get it off before weigh in tomorrow. I was scared to step on the scale this morning, so I didn't with this morning.
