Yesterday I weighed 192, today I weighed 198. I feel like crud for some reason, I did eat some lucky charms today, but I don't know if the carbs, in that cereal made me retain more water than usual, but I do feel really bloated, what is this and how can i prevent it?

Oh dear, don't pay so much attention to the scale...... Our weights fluctuates all the time and what really counts is how you feel (and look) in your clothes and not what that darn scale says....

There are a LOT of things that can cause bloating. Too much salt. Too much stress. Illness. A food your body disagrees with. Grease. And the list goes on and on. :)

Be lucky you aren't female. You'd feel that way for a week every single month. :p

I have to agree with Philia. I'm a lot less stressed when I don't weigh myself or think about what the scale says.

Drink a lot of water to relieve the bloating and don't worry about the scale.

I was going to ask if it was PMS until I read Gwin's post. LOL

Carbs make me feel bloated and gassy. I hate that I have to eat so many of them, especially before I go to the gym. I have such indegestion that I end up burping <excuse me> all through my workouts. Thank goodness for tums!
