    Default gained 6lbs out of nowhere wtf?

    so usually I'm 98 lbs. I'm 5'6 so I know that weight is significantly underweight, but I've naturally been that way pretty much my whole life. my manager pointed out that he thinks I might have gained a few pounds. he wasn't saying I looked BAD because I'm so skinny to begin with but on such a small person it's easy to notice when someone gains weight... so I weigh myself and lo and behold, 104 lbs! I weighed myself in the morning to get an accurate weight and again, 104 lbs
    can anyone tell me why this happened and should I be worried about gaining more weight out of nowhere?

    I'm pretty much the type of girl who can just eat anything without gaining an ounce usually, like I've finished an entire big mac by myself. now, before you say it's my metabolism catching up to me, I don't eat crap all the time. I eat REALLY healthy. I CAN eat crap if I want to, but when I was 17 I decided I wanted to eat healthy and I've been eating healthy for about 3 years.

    occasionally there will be times where I'll stop by mcdonalds or taco bell after work 3 or 4 nights in a row after working so late and pigging out, but that's never affected me.

    the thing is, in the last few weeks though I haven't eaten ANY fast food. as far as exercising goes, nothing has changed in the last 8 months or so either and I put on all this weight out of nowhere! what's going on???

    Perhaps your metabolism is slowing down. It usually happens with age. I myself can afford to add a few pounds to my small frame. Do you mind my asking how old you are? You can PM me if you'd like.

    Usually hormones are the culprit.

    Are you on BC? I never gained weight (I was just like you--I could eat crap and not gain a pound) until around when I was 22. Nothing else had changed, and I'm still pretty young. When I quit hormonal birth control, I dropped 10-15 lbs.

    ^ Could it be the time of day you weighed yourself? Did you drink a glass of water before you weighed yourself? Honestly, there are only so many factors that can be at play here.

    nope. I weighed myself on an empty stomach right after waking up and after I peed to make absolute sure.

    I really don't see a problem with 104lbs & 5'6" but if you start gaining more weight over the next month then I would be concerned.

    Bloat? Lots of sodium (hidden or otherwise) less water intake, constipation, too much caffeine. Our bodies are weird and fussy. 6lbs in a week is unlikely real/permanent gain. ARe you sure you weighed 98 a week ago?

    I guess not. I've always been thin so I never really think to weigh myself. you're right, it might have been a couple pounds a week without me even noticing.

    Do you work out? Have you recently changed your routine?
    When I increase the amount I work out... or add a harder segment to my usual workout... I'll magically gain 3-4 pounds over night and hold on to them for about a week or so before dropping them along with an extra pound or so.

    I walk on the treadmill for an hour maybe 2 or 3 times a week. I've been doing that for YEARS though.

    you may have become hypo-thyroid; have a doctor do some tests.

    Nope. Before I was on birth control it seemed like I'd just gain a pound or two of water weight for a few days as a response to working out harder.
    Since I started birth control it's more like 3-4 and sticks around for a week. So. Dunno.
