    What time frame are you talking about? One day to the next? The same day? A week later?

    It could be water retention from salty foods, weighing yourself later in the day will cause you to weigh more than in the morning, that time of your month can cause significant weight gain, if you have recently started exercising and weight training your body will appear heavier because of water and other nutrients needed for muscle repair, or if you had to take a new or different medicine will cause your weight to grossly fluctuate.

    I wouldn't stress over it too much because if it is any one of those things or a combination, it will be gone in a manner of a few days. I had a week were on Monday I was at a low and by Friday I had gained almost 9 pounds with normal eating and exercising and lost it by Sunday, but I think it is due to hormones and medicines given to me for bronchitis.

    Good luck and keep working on losing weight because you can do this!

    Do you weigh yourself every day? Every week? Did you drink alcohol or really salty and/or carby food yesterday? I know I can pretty easily see the scale go up by 4 lbs overnight if I eat a salty meal the day before. Or if I go overboard with my exercise, I can "gain" 2 lbs or so overnight. Unless you ate 28,000 calories more than MFP said to, you didn't actually "gain" weight.

    Then you didn't "gain" weight. Does your scale need batteries?

    If you want real advice, you need to post with actual details and start logging your food and weighing it. If you just want validation, you're not going to get it because it doesn't seem like you're trying all that strictly.

    Eating too much makes you gain weight.

    You are eating more than you think. /thread.

    Buy a food scale, weigh your food.

    Weighing once a week has nothing to do with your logging and food weighing accuracy.
