real weight changes should happen after more than a couple of days. You can add easy weight with sodium and dehydration.

I gained 9 pounds in 4 days lol. It's like not even possible that I ate that much. Scales are pretty lame. And your weight is soooo back and forth sometimes. The best thing to do is to space out your weigh-ins. Maybe twice a month.
Dont let that scale drive you crazy |

QUOTE: If you are eating a lot of sodium and not drinking enough water that can cause it.. It happens to me all the time This. Drink like 12-14 cups of water today until your pee is crystal clear! |

I did too. lol. I usually drink tons of water but haven't for the last few days and I do feel bloated. I'm sure things will be fine in a few days.

You need to realise a 8oz glass of water weighs... well 8oz (0.5lb), if you drink the recommended 8 glass's that's that's 4lb of liquid & then there's food in your stomach/intestines/bowels that will also add weight. This will cause a lot of fluctuations though out the day, but this is not body fat or lean muscle, it's just the weight of the stuff in you & you will pass it. As someone already mentioned, make sure you drink plenty of water to stay hydrated & help your body let go of excess water.
I weigh myself once a week in the morning before I eat or drink anything & after I've been to the toilet. |
