    yep, water-weight/bloat (i went up 6lbs on a real nasty binge, once.. the next day i was down 7lbs. ended up as a weight loss since i was depriving my body too much, hence why i binged)

    Our bodies fluctuate constantly. They don't care that our brains fixate on the numbers.

    It's annoying but it's a fact of life.

    This helps me out too. I gained a little over 1 lb and was very miffed and not happy :(

    Will drinking water help my weight go down because I know I don't drink enough.

    Well, I've been tracking EVERY BITE that has gone into my mouth and done the necessary activity/exercise and still gained. However, I'm under a LOT of stress right now as hubby doesn't exactly have a job this fall; so I'm thinking maybe the nasty cortisol giant is messing me up.

    Happens to me all the time! I can be perfect ALL week ... 6 days of cardio and then I get thin crust veggie pizza. I don't know if it's the carbs, the sodium or what but if I eat a couple pieces, that's it. 2 pounds up and it takes several days to get rid of it .... ugghhh! Good luck and just keep plugging away!

    that happens, but the best to chek in your weight is doing first in the morning before breakfast.

    i'm twice in the week monday and friday always in the morning.

    If you consumed 7000 calories over your TDEE then it was, indeed, quite a day. I'd wager your "blow out" consisted of a fair amount of sodium and/or alcohol and you are holding more water than typical.

    Yep!

    i check daily to graph my weight, because that helps me see the real trend personally. Especially because my "official" day is monday, which is when I'm more likely to not see much improvement. Anyways doing this has showed me what kind of fluctuation is normal, and 2 pounds is definitely normal. You didn't gain 2 pounds over night.

    Hey, guys, don't take anything under 3-5 pounds to heart. Maybe make a mental note of it, other than that, move on!

    I have splurge days that can up the scale a good 5-10 lbs. but it is more water retention than anything and after a couple days and my 150 oz. of water a day it flushes right out,.... Don't sweat it...... Best of Luck

    This JUST happened to me actually. I have been eating a TON of hummus this week, which is healthy but quite high in sodium. I've also been drinking more than my 1-2/night. I also have been under a LOT of stress, not sleeping well, only getting 5 hrs a night with 16 hr days, doing Insanity and throwing in 3 days of spin on top of that. PLUS TOM!

    Needless to say, jumped on the scale 5lbs up!

    Its a LOT of factors- mine is high sodium food, stress, alcohol, not enough sleep, water retention from working out and TOM. Point being- keep at it! It will drop and plus some :-) The body is a complicated thing and just know what you're doing works!
