is it actually possible to gain this much weight ??

Question

within a week, ive gained ~2-2.5 lbs.
This is all the while not changing ANYTHING. Still working out, getting steps, and eating what i eat every day. Over this week, ive gone from 110 lbs to nearly 113, and im getting so frustrated i could cry. I’m a shortie, so i am absolutely accurate in what im eating.
My period is less than a week away, but im on the pill, so surely its not bloat?? I just don’t understand how ive managed to do this within (at most) a week and a few days. Does anyone have any insight?? Please help:(

Answer

Your weight naturally fluctuates throughout the day even. This sounds pretty unhealthy for you to be worried about 2lbs.

Answer

I mean this in the nicest way but if gaining 2lbs stresses you out this much I would talk to someone, it’s not healthy to be that stressed over barely any weight gain.

Answer

It’s entirely possible to still experience pms symptoms, such as bloating, while on the pill. So, if u haven’t done or eaten anything different & ur period is due soon, then it’s more than likely just bloating.

Answer

Are you weighing yourself at the same time each day & the same way (clothes, no clothes, out of the shower, dry etc.)? Do you weigh yourself frequently? The fact you’re worried about going from 110 to 113 seems slightly obsessive

Answer

2-3 lbs in a week isn't rapid at all. You can definitely gain that in water weight easy, especially when your hormones fluctuate. Nothing to worry about :)

Answer

It’s more than likely just water weight/time of day you’re weighing yourself matters too. You workout so muscle gain plays a role as well.

Answer

Weight fluctuates all the time. That is probably simply some extra water weight combined with the fact that you haven’t gone to the bathroom or something. 3lbs is nothing. If you’d gained 10lbs out of nowhere then maybe I’d be worried but less than 5 not so much. I’m 5’1. I usually weigh around 105 in the morning and anywhere from 107-109 by the end of the day. My stomach stays flat the whole time too. It’s just from eating and drinking all day.

Answer

My body would sometimes fluctuate that much, or up to 5lb difference, in just a day. I normally weigh 115lbs. In a weeks’ time you have no idea if that 2lb gain is water weight, don’t stress.

Answer

It's normal for your body to fluctuate 2-3% due to water weight. I doubt it's fat that you gained. Most likely just water.

Answer

Could totally be cycle related.
Weighing yourself same time? Morning will be the lightest time
