    The key is to not think too much on it but to keep going forward learning more about what affects your body.

    Believe it or not I have gained 20 pounds of water weight in one night. I had pizza and beer. I found out that I was hyper sensitive to sodium, so it is possible, but unless you have my problem your scale is broken. Probably a tension wire broke if it is an analog or the batteries need replacing if it is a digital, or the stabilizer broke.

    I'd change the battery and try again. It's got to be a glitch.

    You didn't gain that much over one night. It is just your scale, mine does the same thing. I weighed myself five different times within only a few minutes and each time it gave me five completely different measurements. Try keeping the scale on a flat surface the exact same way each time. If that doesn't work, I would consider getting a new scale.

    I have a digital scale, and sometimes there is a small piece of dust/hair or whatever that gets stuck underneath that messes the sensors resulting in a smaller number on the scale :P

    My guess, your scale is broke.

    someone once told me that around "that time of month" a woman body holds more water, anyone know if this is true?

    :huh:

    you can't seriously be considering that you may be retaining that much water?!?!

    and if you are something is very wrong

    Either your scale is broke, or you ate almost a whole automotive tire in the night (20 lbs)
    I bet its your scale!:laugh:

    It may just be me but I always lose weight better on my period and gain weight and bloating the week before my period. My skin also clears up when my period starts. It is pretty important to make sure your hormones are in balance.

    Change the battery
    Wear the same clothes every time (naked is preferred)
    Weigh yourself on hard surface versus carpet
    Weigh yourself first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom for the most reliable results.


    If you gained 18lbs overnight, do you notice it in your clothes? In your rings? If you "gained" all of that, I would guess that your clothes would be near impossible to wear. And your rings wouldn't fit if you had any regular rings that you wear.

    If the scale is digital, change the batteries, they get weird when the batteries are losing power.

    Faulty scale and/or did you have it on carpet? Apparently that can cause it to do crazy things as well. But there's no way that you gained 18 lbs overnight. It's seriously pretty much impossible. Your gut would likely explode if you ate that much food.

    Water weighs 8 pounds per gallon, so you would have had to consume more than 2 gallons of water overnight - you would probably have been real sick if you did.
