Gained 2lb overnight!!!

Don't panic.

The scales are always going to fluctuate day by day - for all kinds of perfectly normal reasons (hormones, fluid retention, monthly changes, muscles healing etc).

My advice: eat well (not too little, not too much), exercise (not too little not too much) and only weigh in every one or two weeks.

Must be a "conspiracy theory" to say you cannot gain 2 lbs over night?

don`t sweat it! Probs it`s water weight. don`t stress the everyday too much. Look out for the overall trend. I am a daily weigher but if the scale goes up a little I don`t worry. It always evens out.

Women got the short end of the stick when it comes to scale weight! Fo sure! Also if it`s TOM?

you can't put weight on overnight. its most probably water weight or you have built muscle

Lmao. I doubt she gained 2lbs of muscle overnight.

no definitely not TOM and the overall tread is staying the same or gaining the odd fluctuation is okay it happens but i keep gaining, there is no weight loss at all. not a single gram

My biggest advice to you is quit weighing yourself daily. It does not help, at all. It's best to do it biweekly or weekly. You are stressing yourself out. What matters is inches! :flowerforyou: Eat well, work out, weigh yourself weekly to biweekly (I like weekly and I see results!) and measure yourself when you weigh yourself.

EDIT: I looked at your food diary and it looks great! Seriously, lay off the daily weigh-ins and worry about how you feel and your measurements! :bigsmile:

Do your clothes feel any looser? Also, during this time, why not try measuring yourself? If you're losing inches, that is a better indicator of weight loss than relying on the scales.

I'm curious but what is your recommended calorie intake and what were you on to make people say it was too low? If it actually was too low you get into that whole metabolism sowing down thing. There are quite a few threads on here in the "eat more to lose more" theme and if you were woefully under your calorie intake for a long time then eating at the correct level can make you gain weight for a while.

There are some links around these forums to some very useful information. I'd suggest reading the ones that are backed by actual research rather than just the anecdotal ones tho...

Most importantly don't panic... there will be a logical reason... just need to work out what it is... and don't get down hearted about it.

My guess is that it's water weight. Your body will retain fluid, and the more salt you eat the more fluid is retained. You mentioned that you had increased your nut intake and most nuts have sodium added as flavoring. Check out your sodium intake and see if there was an increase in it the day you gained weight. It's pretty easy to find unsalted or lightly salted nuts. Also, if increase your water intake. I know it sounds counter productive if your body is retaining water that the antidote would be to drink more water, but the reason your body is holding on to (or retaining) that water in the first place is because you don't have enough. Your body recognizes the increase in sodium and says "hey, there's too much of that here, need to get it to normal levels, let's not let this water go and keep it to dilute all this salt in the body." So drinking water actually helps you get rid of water weight because having enough of it means your body doesn't have to hoold on to it and can just excrete it normally. Does that make sense? I hope so, and I hope it helped. I'm curious to see if there was a spike in your sodium levels from that day.

Clam down! I PROMISE you didn't actually gain 2 lbs in one day. Unless you ate somewhere in the neighborhood of 9,000 calories yesterday, it's water weight.
