Xmas weight gain!! water weight?!

So, weigh in is tomorrow morning. Im expecting to have gained atleast 5lbs. Am I right in assuming some of this will be excess water? if so, how long until I get an 'accurate' weigh in??

Why not wait a week? Thats what I am doing! I know I didnt eat like a lunatic, but I'd rather see the scale go down than up!

I always weigh on Fridays :-) I did eat like a lunatic- but hoping seeing the scales will give me the motivation to get right back on track

Give yourself some time and I'm guessing here but possibly next week you'll have a better if not more an accurate weigh-in. I over ate prior to / and the day of Christmas Day, I expected a gain of 5lbs or more. My weigh-in day was the day after Christmas (Wed.) thankfully it was only a 2lb. gain?! I drink a lot of water so who knows, maybe some of it was water. As it could be for you. Hang in there, you're doing Great per your pics so far

IM GUESSING ITS MOSTLY WATER RETENTION! im sure we all over did it in sodium and what not... im a scale addict, so i weighed myself christmas NIGHT! i was up 8 pounds, by the next morning, down 4 from that, still leaving me up 4, by today, im down 2 more, leaving me only up 2 from my pre-christmas weight... and im guessing the majority of that will be gone by saturday!
