This weekend I weight myself and was 211.5lbs lost. Today I weighted myself again and was 222lbs. Can I have gained more than 10lbs in 3 days?

    Yeah that doesn't sound right to me either. I always weight myself first thing in the morning and make sure I am wearing the same cloths....

    Unless you were at a fried chicken eating competition all weekend the numbers seem off. Make sure you use the same scale and weigh yourself at the same time of day.

    Could be water weight. Could be batteries going bad on your scale. Try changing the batteries.

    I can gain 5# of water weight in 3 days. I lose them in 6 with little real effort. I'm 5'2".

    I peed, went # 2, and still high but not as high! Today it was better. I think i am retaining water and had too much salt over the 4th.
