    Did your cheat day consist of 7,000 calories above maintenance? If not, its water weight.

    ^THIS!!


    Most likely a combination of both your cycle and water weight.

    Water weight is an insanely annoying thing to see on the scale...which is why I measure success by inches lost, body fat %, and how my clothes look/feel.

    I've been known to gain as much as 7 pounds of scale weight during TOM. None of that was fat, though.

    Tell me about it! This is the first time that my water weight has fluctuated SOOO MUCH! I'm usually up about 1.5lbs around TOM and then drop it, although, panicked when I was up almost 5lbs last Tuesday.

    Surprisingly, I lost 3lbs this week, in addition to that water weight that crept onto my scale last Tuesday.

    I usually gain 3lbs during when I have my period, this is just fluid retention and goes away as soon as the period ends. It can be frustrating seeing it on the scale but you just have to remember that what you see on the scale during this time is not an actual reflection of your weightloss.

    It'll go away. Yesterday I was a pound up from Sunday and my period began a couple hours later. Today the pound is gone, plus!
