I'm really mad i think i gained 3 lbs at least but i just had lots of 94% free popcorn before bed both nights thats like the only change .. i dont see how that could make me gain but yeah help!!

Reply from Claire, Age 17 - 01/24/05 - IP#: 67.190.0.xxx irregardless of water weight, soda probably isn't the best thing, 'cause there's so much sugar in it. also, you probably have the most "water weight" right before your time of the month.
Reply from Hayley, Age 15 - 01/24/05 - IP#: 64.172.59.xxx If you're having popcorn before bed and then weighing yourself in the morning, there's your problem. I'm sure the popcorn isn't making you gain, but popcorn contains LOTS of sodium, and it makes you retain water, just like soda. The day before you weigh yourself, try to avoid fried food, Chinese food, popcorn, frozen meals, sodas, canned soups, and salty snacks, because all of those things make you retain water.
