OK, so my last weigh in was last Thursday (6/14) and I weigh in this morning BEFORE breakfast, and I have GAINED 3.4lbs... I have been exercising and eating right... What the heak is going on?

Can someone please help me out here, I am so CONFUSED and a tad bit disappointed...There is NO WAY I could have consumed and additional 10,000 something calories...

If any of you could offer ANY advice as to what could POSSIBLY be going on, it would be of great help!!!

:cry:

    it is probably water weight, or if you had any alcohol...

    Are you PMSing? I always gain weight when I'm PMSing and then lose it a week later.

    Um, also you could be constipated somewhat. That will cause a quick weight gain.

    About the scale, when was it last calibrated? Did you move it? The one at work weighs me a full 2 lbs lighter in one spot (I really like that spot :laugh: ) so I usually make certain to put it somewhere else.

    Hope that weight drops away as fast as it came on. {{HUG}}

    Thanks ladies for the valuable input... I am not PMSing or constipated... maybe it's muscle? (fingers crossed, wishful thinking) LOL... I have been walking alot, and when I walk majority of the time I am walking uphill adding lots of resistance... who knows... I don't FEEL fatter, but those numbers on the scale are killing me!

    Definitely water weight. The body can fluctuate up to 5lbs on any given day. Unless you ate 14,000 calories over your BMR in the last 4 days, it certainly isn't fat or anything like that. Additionally, it wouldn't be muscle either unfortunately (wouldn't that be awesome though)... Because of this, try to stick to the scales once per week. Personally, I wouldn't use one at all because they are only snapshots of that very moment in time.
