Yesterday day and evening I ate a lotttt. Had 2 takeaways and lots of chocolate. I was 11 stone 2 before and I woke up this morning and was 11 8. I did a poop, then weighed again and I was 11 6. Weighed again there now and I'm 11 7 and I didn't have much to eat today. Is this even possible?!!! I have started taking cerzette contraceptive pill 2 Months ago and I haven't a period but I've only 7 pills left until my period is normally due and I've got mild stomach cramps and sore boobs. Would the pill be making me gain weight?? Even though I don't get a period??? So annoyed Angry

yes it's 100% possible but it will be water not fat.
a work colleague who is on heart medication came over to mine, one fine chineese new year. it was pot luck with lots of people and food.
the next am, she was 14, yes fourteen, pounds heavier!
she needed to report to the dr's office :(
soya sauce and salt salt and more salt in the won ton soup most likely culprits.

It's water weight, don't worry.

There is no way you can gain 6 lbs of fat over night. Like PP says don't worry just water weight. The scales go up and down all the time.

I weighed myself this morning and had
"gained" about 5 lbs. I had had pizza bread crisps lots of chocolate.

Avoid carbs and salt for a while. Maybe after Christmas though. And drink plenty of water.

bananas (potasium) is said to help shift the water, however expect a solid 3-5 days. drink fluids and walking will help shift it all.
