Good afternoon everyone,

I am so upset right now!!!! I had surgery in August, 2010 have lost 60 pounds and just out of curiousity I weighed myself right now and it showed that I gained 5 pounds... 5 pounds from Monday? How could that be? Can anyone please explain this to me, thank you!

PMS?

The ideal time to weigh yourself is in the morning right after you urinate. If you weighed yourself any time after this then there are a lot of things that could play into what your weight was at the time. (the foods and liquids you've consumed) I wouldn't take it so hard and wait a while before you weigh yourself again and try weighing yourself in the morning.

Assuming you are watching your diet and didn't slip anymore than what is your own personal norm, did you skip an exercise routine or maybe just chilled at home a little more than normal? Weigh-in dressed differently or at a different time? A different scale? Maybe switch out the batteries if it takes them? I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you don't see it coming back off within a few more days. And if it doesn't, then i might use a log for food & exercise for a week to see if something doesn't jump out at you.
