I've been kind of binge-y and its my TOM but I stepped on the scale this morning and I've gained 6 lbs since last Saturday. Is that even really possible or am I dealing with a lot of water weight?
Don't look at my diary to help me because a lot of what I've consumed hasn't been put in there.

Everyone gains weight during their period. Ffs.0

You can gain weight during your period plus if you've been bingy then you could be retaining water and excess sodium etc.0

I really doubt that you have gained that much! Just hang in there, get back on track. Drink a lot of water. Lay off the sodium. Fruits and veggies. Don't weight yourself for another week!:flowerforyou:0

I gained 5 pounds on my last TOM too - I hadn't even binged all that much, but get v bad pains so wasn't exercising and was giving into temptation more easily.... it came off again with a bit of hard work the following week, but was v depressing at the time! Not what you need when you get bad PMT too!0

To have gained 6lbs of weight you would have to have eaten 21,000 calories OVER your maintenance level. Your body weight can fluctuate up to 5lbs in one day.0
