4lbs over night?
 
Is it possible to gain 4 lbs overnight? Because that happened to me. I didnt even eat anything bad the day before!! I dont understand what could have happened and its so frustrating!

could be water retention if you ate alot of sodium in the past few days. for some people the scale doesn't move for a few days. Ypu did not gain 4 pounds of fat overnight. Is it close to TOM. With TOM comes water retention i can go up to 6 pounds.

It is close to TOM...that I was thinking too...I hope that is what it is because its so discouraging!

water water water

No, it is not possible to gain 4 lbs of fat overnight. That would mean you ate 16000 calories yesterday (14000 for 4 lbs + 2000 for living). Truthfully, I dont think your body would absorb 14000 extra calories I think you would be sick as a dog!

Briza -- It's only water retention, specially if TOM is near, for some stupid reason our female bodies like to do that... Like ennay said: water, water, water..... drink your water...

I also gained 4 lbs since last night. I am back up to my orginal weight of 138lbs. Yesterday 2 lbs were added and this morning 4!!!! I felt fat when I woke up I am really bloated though. I dont have TOM anymore but flucuations happen alot for me. I am not counting it till next week. Maybe I should try staying off the scale and just weighing in on Mondays !!!! Easy GO easy COME!!!!

It's probably water weight, so don't freak out. If 1 lb=3,500 calories, then you would have had to consume 14,000 calories yesterday in order to put on 4 lbs of fat. Not very likely.
