    Yes it happens. Usually one of the reasons we tend to recommend weighing everyday. Because our weight can fluctuate a bit. Salt, hormones (like your period), stress, exercise, lots of sudden carbs. But it is just water weight. It will be gone soon enough.
    Just continue as normal That is what I do.

      Liv is right. That much overnight is definitely water. Relax and be patient.

      GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
      GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND

      It's not about the results. Its about the process.

            Purple on your stick may mean you need more water -- that you are dehydrated. Make sure you are drinking a minimum of 64 ounces of PURE water daily.

            I'd suggest you weight once a week - too much happens day to day and people get discouraged when they weight too often.

            Good luck to you.
