    ahhh sodium is just AWFUL sometime!! I always try to monitor my sodium intake, otherwise I wake up with a SWOLLEN face, and fingers that feel sooo fat!!
    If I DO have too much sodium, I make sure to really increase my water intake for the next day or two...to flush it out. I also make sure to get in a GOOD sweat at the gym...it always seems to help with the water retention!! :)

    Hahaha I gained 5 pounds almost overnight!!!! I'm really increasing the water today and will sweat it out on the elliptical tonight. Scary to see that scale, though! YIKES!!! Thanks to one of my MFP friends for talking me down after I was freaking out myself this morning! She reminded me that one pound = 3,500 calories. So you would have had to have eaten an EXTRA 21,000 calories over the weekend. HAHAHAHA

    I had a 3 pound gain over the weekend---not sure if sodium was the culprit or the other bad snacks and drinks I had while at a 4-day scrapbook retreat. I did get 3 mile runs in 2 of the 4 days. I can only imagine what the scale would have been if I hadn't gotten some exercise in! Time to work at making the scale move the other direction again now that I'm back home.

    It's crazy!! I can weigh in at the gym pre work out and post work out weigh 5 pounds less. It's nothing but sodium and water! Such crap for us as women! That can make almost a size in difference in my jeans!!

    Yep, I've gained 5lbs overnight. Usually KFC will do it!

    Takes a few days for it to come off again too :grumble:

    Never weighed after exercise, must try that :bigsmile:

    Good luck :flowerforyou:
