Yes, it happens. Are you constipated? You could be retaining extra water, that time of the month, or 100 other reasons. It will probably be back to normal tomorrow or the next weigh-in. Don't worry and keep up the good work!..

Yes, that happened to me when my weigh-in day fell the morning after eating out. Even though the ingredients of my restaurant meal were OP grilled fish, green beans everything tasted salty and I think my gain was directly related to extra sodium. Next weigh-in I was down 4, which is the most I have lost in one week since week 1. I am trying hard to avoid extra sodium...

Yep, but it's not fat. It's something else and could have many factors:.

Extra sodium (tuna has a lot).

Hormones.

Big workout that caused retained fluids.

If you're 100% OP, there's now WAY you can really have weight gain, as in FAT gain. Just not possible...

Well I have been stuck at the same weight for 4 weeks now and have been totally on program. Getting a little frustrated but hanging in there. I just don't know...

I'm in the same 2 lb. boat. I was down 2 lbs. two days ago and now I'm up. Kind of annoying. Hang in there!..

Thanks you guys! Since this has never happened to me, I was a little irked. I'm going to have to chalk it up to something like sodium, and Abby, now that you mention it, I am a little constipated...

Yep it's quite normal. Depending on the factors listed above and more, your weight can actually fluctuate up to 4 pounds. It can be extra sodium, not enough water the day before, flying, heavy workout, constipation, etc.

You're doing great - keep it up!..

I was up three or four last week, mid-week, but by wi day, I showed a loss of 1.5 I was completely op. I think my body is just being stubborn sometimes!..

Well, I've decided not to weigh myself until the weekend. I'm usually a daily weigher (I know, I know, bad girl, LOL). I had been weighing every 2 days, but I think I'll start with maybe every 4 days or so. I cannot discipline myself to weighing only once a week. Let's hope my weight this weekend reflects those 2 pounds gone! Thanks everyone...

I'm bumping Tarahh's great thread for you. It's called "Why am I not losing (long)". It'll be on the first page in a sec. Hope it helps!..
