Ok so I have been on 1200 cal per day since July last year, and managed to go down from 169 to 118, on Friday I was 118 anyway, then this Saturday I had a little mini cheat day and went over with 400 cal. Today i measure myself and I'm 122 ... I was like WOW is this my scale or is it possible to go from 118 to 122 in just 3 days?

    When that happens to me, it tends to be water retention. I find that if I eat clean, drink a ton of water it comes back off quickly maybe a day or two. Your extra 400 calories would not have added 4 pounds!

    Check your sodium intake for your cheat day. It could be water retention due to a higher salt intake.
