    It happens. This could be water weight, your monthly cycle, a day of more sodium than usual, your muscles repairing from your 4 good workouts, a reaction to something you ate, etc. There are many reasons for this. Don't let it get you down. It happens to everyone!

    I just started eating back my exercise calories and was told there can be a gain at first, but that will change and things will start to move. Hope it happens. Hang in there, I've see the same pound up and down forever now, so I had to make a change. Hope this is the answer! Good Luck!
