    Muscle weighs more than fat.

    I REALLY hope what you meant was muscle is DENSER than fat.

    What else would you imagine she meant?

    .......That it weighs more? Which it doesn't. A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat; but muscle is denser - taking up less space.

    ??? But the OP already said she had 5 lbs more of something, why would anyone assume we are talking about 1 lb?

    Nope. It doesn't.

    Back to the drawing board, bro.

    This is true but feathers weigh more than lead

    Shark Week? I'm retaining massive water due to this.
    This could be a possibility. I jump up ~8-10lbs during shark week. Annoying. However, I agree with what most have said here...water retention in the muscles due to routine change.



    And aliens..

    I used 1lb as an example to explain what I meant.....

    Thanks everyone. I am back to my normal weight! Thank you for all the replies. I have also struggled with an eating disorder for 3 years now and reinforcement that a jump in the scale is normal was extremely helpful!
