How ??

Be a pre-menopausal female at a particular stage of her menstrual cycle, for one. Or start a new exercise program. Or eat more carbs or sodium than usual, even if it's a perfectly healthy amount of either/both. Or eat a bunch of high-fiber food within a couple of days before the 2nd weigh-in, that's still mostly in digestive transit. Or one of many other reasons for water weight or digestive contents to be a little higher.

Heck, I gained 4.4 pounds between Friday morning and Sunday morning, and I'll guarantee you I didn't eat 15,400 calories over maintenance (and I'm post-menopausal). In my case, it's water weight and digestive contents from extra carbs/sodium . . . it'll be gone in a few days. In fact, 2 pounds of it was gone by this afternoon.

If you didn't eat 8750 calories more than maintenance, your water weight will be gone in a few days, too.

Don't worry.

Have surgery. The edema will even overshadow the 12 hours of clear fluids, 15-hour fast, and enema required prior. Why yes. That did happen this week. Why do you ask?

Oh gosh now I'm having flashbacks to feet so swollen I thought my skin would split. Once it started to clear out of my system I peed and sweated out 25 lbs in 3 days.
