Gained 8 pounds in 7 days?

[Jayburner]

was at 181 then checked scale today and i'm at 189.

How is this possible. I haven't pigged out. Only thing that changed was I finally got some a/c's for my sweltering apartment.

Kinda depressed because I liked the way i felt at 181.

Take a shit..

My number 2's have been off lately..but 8 pounds of shit?

Could be anything from water weight, to what Eugenik said, having to shit. Maybe you over ate just a bit, took in to much salt and have water retention. There's really a lot.

That's so horrible. I hope you can get on with your life.

People need to stop worrying about weight, it's not about weight.

It's about being in shape, easily preform tasks and keep your heart in good shape.
Society's obsession with weight needs to stop.

Youre not sweating as much too. Add them both together.. water and bowel weight can add up.

I was finally getting rid of my manboobs and now they are coming back.

Pushups do wonders for saggy tits, men and women alike.

You were dehydrated it would seem , so you've gained some water weight, plus you probably weighted yourself whilst you carried a full bladder of urine/bowel full of crap and maybe a full stomach.

I wouldn't be too worried. If you didn't pig out & I mean seriously pigged the fuck out, you didn't gain 8 lbs in fat. That would require 28k calories on top of the minimum 2kish a day that you burn just by being alive.

Did you eat about 45k calories this past week? Didn't think so.

[pocky_rin]

just drink a lot of water, but really, unless you can actually SEE the weight gain, I don't think it's anything to obsess about. As long as you are healthy you're fine

[Jayburner]

Okay.. if I drank 8 glasses of water in a day and didn't pee much or sweated. How much weight is that?

That makes sense now. Just blows my mind when i look at the scale though. I'm a male btw.

I wouldn't worry about how much water you're drinking. I drink at least 1-2 gallons a day.

Off the top of my head about 65 oz. or about 4 lbs.

You said you putted an AC in? did you start drinking a lot of water because it was hot outside? that is probably only water weight.

[Jayburner]

I wouldn't say i'm healthy. I'm jobless..smoke a lot and drink about 8 tall boys of beer a night and then i have a bowl after all that and eat and go to sleep.

Dude... youre taking this too far... you can do a straight conversion of litre to kilogram 1:1. Figure out how many cups fill a litre and presto.

8oz in a cup. 33oz in a litre. 8x8=64oz. 64/2=32oz. 2 litres = 8cup @ 8oz. 2 litres=2 kilograms=4.4 pounds. All roughly.

Your moobs aren't going to have magically re-appeared in a single week (if you had actually started to lose them) unless you're retaining water.

Eat less salt, drink more water, take a big dump.


Edit: You're trolling if you think that drinking 8 tall cans of beer a night isn't going to make you retain water weight / gain weight. And if you're not trolling then you need to sort your shit out.

Let me see if I've got everything here: you're jobless, you spend every night drinking an 8-pack and smoking a bowl, you're overweight and have large enough man tits that you can actually notice fluctuations in their size - and you're concerned only with some sudden water retention?

It's water weight then, and depending on what you're eating. It'll help retain the beer.

I did drink lots of milk this week. Maybe i'm lactose intolerant. Would that make me retain water?
