    You said it yourself - water. Yes you can retain water from an injury - how do you think the body repairs itself? How much sodium have you been eating lately? Are you drinking enough water? Could be any number of things. Do yourself a favor and avoid the scale for awhile...don't let it set the tone for your day.

    I think I've gained this week too. I've been losing steadily but I just think it is good to happen and next week let's see what will happen. You have the 5 week predictor and it gives you a goal to work towards. Frustrating but loook at what you have already lost.

    you need to log what you are eating. If you have time for this thread then you could have logged your food.

    I have been dealing with a neck injury this past 2 weeks, i get where you are coming from. Stay the course, heel up. For me i have not been able to work out so i have had to pay very close attention to my food intake.

    How does soreness in your arms keep you from all exercise?

    Log food here. I bet you've got more sodium than you think.

    Maybe be a bit more moderate (not all the exercise things in one week) and therefore more consistent (not well now I'll do nothing)
