Im hoping you guys can help me out...
3 weeks ago I weighed 144. I have been eating right etc. working out, and I FEEL like ive lost weight. Theres less inch to pinch. I weighed myself this morning, expecting to weight like 142 or something, and i weighed 147. Im not freaking out or beating myself up over it - the past week ive been eating LOTS of salty food. Do you guys agree that this could simply just be water weight?
Please say yes!

    It could be but if I were you I would really start tracking my sodium intake ...are the salty foods also fattening?..if so you will have to look at your diet and make changes.

    totally watch the sodium... I've had a bad day here and there and it always makes me retain water when the culprate is sodium.

    Interesting you brought this up because my scale was up this morning also. I just added sodium to my food diary and noticed my last couple of days have been high. Sodium is probably the culprit.
