I was off low carbs this weekend and I weighed myself today and it was up 4lbs is that possible? I did not drink that much water so I am hoping most of it is water any thoughts or reasons let me know ladies thank you.

I have once gained 6 lbs. in one weekend when I had went off of my low-fat, low-calorie eating plan. It was awful!

I think it IS water-related weight because those 6 lbs. melted off just as quickly as I had gained them (as soon as I recontinued with my healthy eating plan, that is).

So yeah, it's possible.

Don't get discouraged by it - just get back on track and you will probably discover that those few pounds were water-related after all.

Best of luck!

Oh yes that can happend. Last week I had lost a total of 3lbs and now I weighed myself this mornign and i gained it all back, plus 1lb. I had eaten right and exercise all last week, but when the weekend came, I went crazy.
