Default Stupid question, but.....

Is it normal to gain about 4 pounds in a span of 2 days? What's the deal? Is it that I ate too much cheese, or too much spleda, or shouldn't eat any more atkins bars? I'm so confused and I don't want to ruin all the hard work I've done in the past few weeks. It's crazy. I was at a stall for 2 weeks, then all of a sudden lost 2.5 pounds and stayed there for 2-3 days. Then, low and behold.... I gained 4 pounds back! AAAGGGGGHHHHHH! Please help!

It's almost impossible to gain 4 pounds of actual fat in only 2 days. It takes about 3500 EXTRA calories on top of what you already burn off during everyday activities. So unless you have been motionless for the last 2 days eating 4500 calories a day worth of chips and ice cream, it's probabaly mostly water

Its water wieight. I was 158 yesterday...today I am 154 ... that's 4 lbs and I know its water because I know my body and yesterday my rings were tight and my tummy was a bit distended...today my rings are literally falling off my fingers and I am wearing the most tightest pair of shorts I have and they are comfortable. Unfortunately, this happens to us ladies....especially nearer to that time of the month.
