    Hello! First off, did you weigh yourself at the same time of day? It should always be first thing in the morning after you've urinated.

    Secondly, it's water weight. Alcohol dehydrates you and makes your body retain what water supplies it has.

    Drink a ton of water today, keep away from refined carbs and salty foods and you'll see it go back down by tomorrow or the next day.

    I've found that after a night of drinking and doing the above that I've lost the water weight and a lb or two more. Go figure.

    Just get back to eating/drink better today and the weight will be back off in a day or two. It's not permanent, probably just retaining extra water.

    What? Isn't that normal? I weigh myself first thing every morning and again at night. A 4 pound difference is common.

    You will always fluctuate between 1-5 lbs. It's just common knowledge. One day i will weigh myself and I'm 121, the next I'll be 125, and then the next I'll be 124......it's going to be because of water weight.....and if you've just recently eaten......and all kinds of factors........don't get dismayed that easily

    you either consumed 16,000 calories that day...or you're retaining water

    I weigh myself twice a day (I know -- thread topic!). A 3-4 pound weight gain is totally normal due to water retention. I have seen myself weigh as much as 10 lbs more in one day from drinking a few margaritas, eating Mexican food, and being in the sun all day. It could take a couple of days to flush out but it will.

    It's definately water retention.It happens to me everytime I do a night of heavy partying.
