What would make me gain 4 pounds overnight??

[topazz 4]

Yesterday I was thrilled that I lost 2 lbs! This morning I gained almost 4 lbs!!! I almost threw up!! I got on the scale 3 different times and it said the same thing!

I did not eat anything I was not supposed to, and ate what I normally do eat!! How could this be? Very discouraged right now!! GRRR!!! Do you think it is because I am having these bathroom and gas pain issues, that I posted about a few days ago?

I refuse to change my ticker, as I will fight tooth and nail to get this weight off!!

Did you drink enough Water? Are you having daily BM's? Could any of your food choices have been higher in salt than normal?

Keep doing what your doing (you don't say if you are excersising, start if your not). Your weight will naturally flucuate with Water retention, hormones et.. Try not to get on the scale every day, it's just discouraging you. When I was loosing I weighed in once a week and recorded it. You might also want to take some measurments. Sometimes the scale doesn't move but inches are lost. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice all. Yes, I am drinking a lot of Water, no less than my normal intake. But maybe with the issues I am having I am retaingin Water. I don't know. My BM's are about every other day. As for exercising, I really do not get a chance to as much as I should between work and running after my son.

Of course, I'll be obssessed and get on the scale tomorrow and see what is happening! I know I should do it once a week, but I can't help it! It's a sickness!!

Lord Child you sound like me read my precious post. I gained 4 lbs overnight a week ago today. Got up sunday weighed 238, got up next morning gained 4. I thought what the heck. I too posted on here and got great responses. Water Weight. Water WEIGHT. I know this and forgot. I have stayed away from high sodium stuff. Read labels big time. drinks lots of water. It took me all week to get that 4 back off, but as of today have lost another 1.5. Been doing this over 3 1/2 years. It is a battle but it will be so worth it. It may be a discouraging day, but this too shall pass. YOU CAN DO THIS. ONE HOUR AT A TIME, ONE DAY AT A TIME. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't be concerned about a overnight weight change... now if it stayed there for a good week or so be concerned. But overnight is probably WATER!!!!! Now with that said... I do the same thing to0!!!!!!! But usually after the 3rd time stepping on the scale, I then realize what I am doing to myself. Also remember that weight can fluxuate at during times of the day.

I would think your retaining Water. Just make sure your drinking plenty of water and watch your salt/sodium intake. I bet it will come right off.

This is why I only weigh once a week. My weight can fluctuate as much as 4-5 pounds in Water weight from one day to the next. Not worth the stress since stress acts on our cortisol levels which affects how our body handles fat.

Okay just so you see my journey. Was at 236.5 yesterday. Weighed this am and up to 238. gained 1.5 overnight. Did not change my eating habits. Drank my Water, etc. Rings are tight this morning. So I know how you feel, wish I could figure out why we overweight ppl retain water so much. It is okay cause it will come off this week.
