GAINED 3 POUNDS!!!

Samia22

:sad: Hi everybody i have returned after a few weeks due to a death in the family,hope everyone is well. I have a quick Q i weighed myself last week and had lost a pound last week but when i weighed myself tonight abd have gained 3 pounds! Is that even possible :-( i will admit that my weekend was a crazy one and i did eat the wrong foods but did not go over my calorie intake. Is this fat tht i have gained? I feel very disheartened by this and would love some motivational support. xxx:sad:

Most likely water weight from high sodium if you have been eating wrong foods this past weekend.

I agree with Eternal that is is likely to be water, draw a line under it, keep going and weigh again in a week's time!

That is completely possible, but it's probably not fat gained. Like EternalJourne said, it's probably water retention. I can bounce between 2-3lbs gained in a day, but it's not actually a gain. Your weight will fluctuate daily so it will for sure fluctuate over the course of a few weeks.

dont over-react yet. make sure you weigh yourself first thing in the am (before consuming anything) and on teh same scale everytime. weigh yourself 3 days in a row and consider the average your current weight.

hang in there!

Three words: water, water, water. It is your best friend right now. Drink at least 3 liters everyday this week and watch those three pounds just disappear. :-)

Thanks for the replies guys! I usually weigh myself on the same day and same time each week but will weigh myself again tomorrow morning xx

I agree it is water weight and just drink lots of water and get back to food logging.

First off, so sorry for your loss

Secondly, three pouNds is nothing. You've been going through a stressful time so no matter what it is, just start over again and don't get worried about it. i put on two stone when my dad died!

Good luck!xx

When u say drink plenty of water do u mean just plain water? No cordial/squash (the ones that say no added sugar) xx

I am sorry you had a death in the family, stress can play a part in weight gain.
