I don't really know how I gained 4 pounds overnight but my scale was working fine. C'est la vie!

Jschwab, that's so frustrating! Logically, we know it should go away again quickly, but it's always a punch in the gut. I never understand how I can work hard for a month to lose 4 lbs. and then literally put them back on overnight.

Nihold, good going on the move--even something tiny is a relief if you've been stuck for a while.

CityGirl8, it's totally stress! I have been in a deeply transitional period over the last week with some bureaucratic snags thrown in. Every day my life changes. Today I went to a new job and my assignment was changed at the last minute to a much higher-stress assignment, that kind of thing. It took it's toll with inflammation...

**stress, water, sodium, hormones, inflammation, and a myriad of other things can cause you to gain weight overnight. Weighing everyday is not for the faint of heart! That’s why a lot of people recommend against it.

Weighing every day (and in the evening) is key for me in uncovering those sources of inflammation, though. Totally not for everyone but I can keep a pretty cool eye on it without judging. I'm 231 today but will update later.

I think I figured out what happened. I take BCP continuously and, with the stress of starting a new job, I forgot to for three days' straight and my weight shot up. It seems to be resetting again.
