It sounds like it's just water weight. Your weight is not static - it changes over time due to the amount of water your body is holding onto, food passing through your system, etc. You did not gain 3.5 pounds of fat in three days unless you ate almost 12000 calories. Some days your weight will be higher then normal, other days it will be lower. You just have to track it over a longer period of time, and the pattern should be an overall decrease in weight.3

I am fascinated by weight fluctuations and how what I do affects my body. At times I weigh a few times a day out of curiosity. Last night I weighed 49 kgs. This morning 46.9 kgs. I went for a 12 km walk and weighed myself again. 47.8 kgs. It is perfectly normal for weight to fluctuate from day to day and week to week, especially if you are a female. Just having a meal high in sodium can increase numbers because of fluid retention for a few days. Ovulation and TOM can do the same thing.1

Sounds like you are not eating enough. If you are a male, 12-1500 cals may be far too low. Calculate your BMR and aim to eat (at least) that every single day. There are plenty of calculators online, or even use my fitness pals one.
The normal weightloss chart looks very normal- I experience more extreme spikes and dips than that.
Weight is only a number- you should focus on muscle gain and fat loss instead.1 -

I am female and only 4'11 and eat more than 1200 calories a day. If that is all you are eating it is not enough and could easily be doing some long term harm to your body. I'd see a registered dietitian to give you come guidance on healthy weight loss.1 -

No, you don't. Since you are larger, you can eat more and still lose weight. If you eat too little to sustain your deficit comfortably, you are more likely to give up. Weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint.
Here's another example of normal variation while losing weight:
I was at or under my calorie goal every day of that time span.3 -

You only have to if you are under doctors orders to be that low. They will monitor you to make sure you don't have lasting damage from such a low calorie diet. If you are not being monitored by a doctor--stop what you're doing and do some research to find out how much you should be eating to lose weight. Healthy weight loss is the key. Eating as much as you can and still lose weight is what you want to do. Buy a digital food scale and weigh and measure everything you eat and drink. Be consistant and you will lose just fine.1 -

Why the time limit? It took time to gain it so it makes sense that it will take time to lose it. Weight loss gets slower the smaller you get because you can't create as much of a calorie deficit without eating into your muscle mass. You need to consume enough calories to meet your nutritional requirements.
I've lost about 130 pounds in 26 months and I expect the last 12 pounds to take 6 months or more to lose.0 -

OP--if you want to get married, you want to be healthy too---am I right? Your weight loss goals are way too aggressive. Tone it down a bit and lose safely. There are people that lose weight too fast and then have loose skin and don't like the way they look.1 -
