    Could it be menstrual related? I once gained 9 lbs. in 3 days... Water weight. Way too much sodium, and monthly stuff... It will be ok. Today is a new day!

    If you Make your diary public someone has a better chance of helping.

    Hang in there!

    I feel your pain! I've gained that kind of weight in a few days. It could be menstrual, water weight, poop.

    Yeah I highly doubt you ate enough to gain 6 REAL pounds in a week. I tend to gain in that time of the monthy too. Make sure your weighing the same time each week. maybe try to do a workout before and sweat out of water if you are bloated. I can gain 3 pounds by the end of the day from water or lose two after a workout. Our bodies are NUTS! haha. Good luck!

    6 lbs is 21,000 calories of fat. Did you eat 21,000 calories more than maintenance this week? I'm guessing no. If not, then it's water & you can relax.

    What are your stats( height, weight, sex)? When do you weigh yourself and how frequently? Have you measured your body, and do you look heavier or could this be muscle mass? Opening your diary would also really help.
