    This is why you should never weigh every day!
    On the contrary, this is why, IF you are going to use weight as a measure, you should weigh every day.

    Imagine that 2lb increase happening on a weekly weigh in day, and not being aware that your body fluctuates day to day!

    You'd be feeling like a failure for a whole week and I reckon by the end of the week thoughts like "Why bother, I'm not losing weight anyway" might start creeping in.

    My vote is to weigh daily to enable a check for a general overall downward trend, and / or measure yourself.

    Probably water.. or the fact you may have been undereating for so long that your body wants to hold onto it for dear life. It happened to me :)

    most likely water retention, up your movement and intake of water so you dont retain it. you can do this hun keep at it you have done so well

    Agreed, it can be helpful as long as you are controlling the variables and not obsessing over daily fluctuations!!

    I guess You where dreaming about food and You really overate in Your dream and ofc because You had such a vivid dream Your body needed to store that food and that's how you gained all that weight You know that grelin hormon and your dream overeating made You secrete tons of insulin and You converted all the food into FAT!.
    Ofc ill back this up with some random web url about looking at food and getting fat http://eatingplansforweightloss.info/sleep-weight-koss/looking-at-food-can-make-you-fat/ and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18163975
    Scary!

    I hope none takes me seriously.

    It's no laughing matter. The other night, I dreamt I was eating a giant marshmallow. In the morning, I woke up to discover my pillow had disappeared.
