    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!

    You don't know if you've actually gained weight until after the full week, or 7 days since you weighed yourself last. So if you see a pound increase one day, it is water weight/weight from the food you ate the day before/sodium, etc.

    My weigh in day is Friday - I weighed myself on Sunday again and I was up 4 pounds. I weighed myself yesterday morning, and I was down that 4, plus another 2.. it fluctuates that much.. and then when I get back to Friday, it evens out and I see my REAL weight loss for the week.

    But that's just it for me: I'll drop the 'water weight", no more, and regain the water back

    I went up 5 lbs in 2 days before. It's stupid water weight. =[

    You should never weigh yourself every day, all it does is dishearten you and make you lose your motivation. EVERYONE will see a gain and a loss over the course of a week. For example, sometimes your body may still have food in it from the night before or more water than the day previous. Just weigh yourself once a week and you will see more accurate results.

    It's water weight. When you have 1 off day don't weigh the next. It's brutal on your brain and really destructive. Shake off yesterday, jump back on today, drink lots of water, keep moving forward. Good luck!

    I think weighing once a week makes sense. I have tried every other day but still find some bizarre fluctuations that can be demotivating. I'll start this Saturday morning.

    I read an interesting topic in a Newbie link about how when you take in 1 gram of glycogenyour body holds 3 grams of water. So if you eat to many carbs you hold fluid. Not necessarily sodium retention. I always wondered why I could eat high carb foods and be in my target range but gain. It's an interesting tid bit for people who eat carbs but don't depelete the glycogen build up. I'm still researching this but it answers some of my questions about sudden weight gain especially if I eat lower proten and then follow with a high carb meal or BLOW OUT, GOD FORBID!
