    In one word, YES, up 2 lbs overweight is water weight. You may have eaten more salt then you needed, or if you started a new type of exercise plan your muscles can hold water for a few days or if TOM is approaching. Don't sweat the 2 lbs. keep on track and you can probably expect a nice whooshie in the next few days to rid it.

      Dpending on circumstances, the water retained in your body can fluctuate by several pounds. Hormones, exercise, salt and medication are among the causes. Best not to rely so much on the scales as the inches and changes in body composition (ie, muscle replacing fat may weigh more, take up less space)
