How have you been eating? Have you been eating a lot of salty things?

Unless you were totally pigging out, I doubt it is a gain from food. Most likely you are retaining water. Are you close to having your period?

Try to drink a lot of water and stay away from salty foods.

Were you dieting before this or restricting your calories? I think it is possible if you went from eating very little to eating normal or a lot. That has happened to me.

Nic - I feel your pain, I really do. I started the southbeach diet at the beginning of last week and got on the scale a week later and I did not lose a pound so i decided that after a week of struggling and not losing weight - forget that! (I am not heavy at all I weigh about 123-124 but I had a baby last year and prior to that used to weigh 113 lbs so I wanted to get back into pre-baby shape for my wedding and for my own sanity also) Anyway, I got on the scale at the gym last night and I was horrified to see that I was 129 especially when on sunday I was 124. I am supposed to get my pd on 6/25 though so it could be water retention ( I hope so )

Domsmom - something VERY similar happened to me before my wedding. I was also not really overweight but really wanted to lose for my wedding. Went on South Beach and after a week didn't really lose anything and my stomach was really crampy. I went off of the diet and gained five lbs just by eating the way I always did (which was pretty healthy)! It took like two weeks for my body to adjust - it was crazy!
