    Muscle. Because muscle weighs more than fat. We all know that, duh

    I am pretty sure that this is solid scientific evidence...

    right, and you can magically convert fat into muscle while eating in deficit...this was proven in Einsteins theory or relativity...who knew?

    14 pounds times 3500 calories in 1 pound = 49000 calories extra. Unless you ate that many calories extra, there is no way you could have gained that much weight...unless you have a serious medical condition or where wearing a lot of clothes. I would weigh on a different scale.

    You gained 2 LBS in 5 minutes? 7thousand calories in 5 minutes?? Call Guiness!
    :smile:
    Seriously though. Breathe deeply. Step away from the scale for a few days. Drink lots of water. Wait for your period, your ovulation, the sodiium bomb you ate etc. to work its way out. Keep exercising, and eating right. And don't panic. You got this!

    (Then buy a new scale)

    Is this a troll thread? I'll reply anyway, since others will take it seriously.
  • I think you need to toss that scale in the trash. How are your clothes fitting?

    I weigh naked.

    Have you tried a scale buddy? You should definitely have a spotter or something to check your form on the scale...

    You probably just need to poop. I have a suppository I would like to recommend. PM me for details.

    it's muscle mass. does your boyfriend keep any weights in the house? sometimes that can cause you to bulk and you don't even have to pick them up. particles of iron enter the air, and basically get asorbed by your muscles.

    it's ok. the usual remedies still apply here. just do a cleanse. a little palmolive and a bottle brush should do the trick. might wanna put some plastic wrap down first to protect the floor.

    I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND! IS THE WHOLE WORLD TRYING TO MAKE ME GO BUY MORE ICE CREAM RIGHT NOW?!

    After that cleanse, honey, the boys will be lining up. Save the ice cream till after the first date!

    Don't worry, muscle weighs more than fat so you are probably just putting on muscle with all of that stepping on and off the scale. Just be careful not to bulk up, I mean, ick, srsly.

    I think your scale is off..to gain 16 pounds in a week you would have to eat an extra 51,200 calories...that is ALOT of food...

    Have you tried another scale?

    Yesterday a drank a whole bottle of wine and ate pizza and other things.... I don't know what that equals.

    a bottle of wine + whole pizza is not going to equal 52,000 calories...

    Your scale is broke...

    I am not completely idiot.

    I know about carbs making you gain water weight 1 g carbs and 3 g water and pizza is many carbs. Maybe that is the reason and I am just suggesting possibilities.

    You obviously did not read my OP carefully.

    Thanks for your input without paying attention, but I DID NOT EAT ANYTHING between the times I weighed myself today.

    I know what you wrote but if you've ever seen an episode of Matlock you know that sometimes people's stories change when they're being questioned.

    So, I ask you AGAIN. Did you eat or drink anything between the first and second times you weighed yourself? Were you wearing clothes? Describe them. We're going to find out what's going on, you don't need all these doctors that people are talking about.

    This is very unpolite.

    I did not eat anything ok.

    ummm I was referring to the general picture.
    Ovulation generally causes a 2LB blip on my scale. Not 16. Don't be ridiculous. She had a 2LB brief blip. Or so she says (I think it's a troll thread, actually)

    I don't want to bager you but I believe you're avoiding the question. You've said that you didn't eat anything but did you DRINK anything? And you continue to avoid describing your clothes to me when you weighed the first and second time. Any sort of accessory could've tipped the balance, as it were.

    I'm also beginning to think this is a troll thread.

    I think you should stop weighing yourself. Clearly you have no explanation as to why you`ve temporarily gained weight....cuz that`s what it is temporary.

    I think with gains like that, I would feel like I might be turning into the Hulk... so pretty effing epic...

    This is completely true and kind of annoying that people keep saying it's a troll thread.

    Thank you for suggestions about ovulations, I need to look at my app and find out what part of my cycle I am in.

    Reported. This is not at all supportive or helpful.

    Jk. Reported for not recognizing sarcasm.

    Ok ok ok. I didn't report u. I didn't have it in me
