My guess its waterweight and TTOM? I know I gain up to 10lbs during this time every month. It will all eventually woooshhhhhh away and you will be back to normal in a few days.
I totally agree with Angie.  It's water.  Water is very heavy and hormones will do it and so will eating something very high on sodium OR that triggered an allergy - this is from my own experience (but I ain't no doctor - LOL!)  Keeping track of what you eat will help uncover hidden traps, but it's not an easy commitment.  My weight-loss counselor says that there are changes happening in our bodies that can't be measured by a scale.  My CCP Weight Log looks like a stock market report.  I heard a slogan for Putnam Investments the other night on the radio:  "Consistent reults over time."  I love that!  If we (overall) invested in the momentary, hourly or even daily changes in the market, most of us would be drained financially.  We can take an unfavorable moment as an opportunity to evaluate and strategize.  Some people do measurements in addition to or instead of weighing. Most of all, don't worry - just focus on the changes you can make.  You can do it!  Wink
I've gained five lbs over night..especially after a dinner of pasta cuz it bloats me..don't freak out..you're fine!! :)  Keep trucking along and these days will be fewer and far between..I learned not to eat pasta for dinner anymore and I try to eat as low a sodium meal as I can for dinner because I'll retain water.

This is an A #1 reason NOT to weigh yourself every day!  Not drinking enough water the day before, a dinner that caused you to bloat, TTOM... all of it can mess with your mind and BAM!!  You're depressed and thinking you're getting nowhere. 

Move your weigh ins to once a week and relax!

I totally feel your freak-out.  This last weekend I gained 3 lbs. but by Tuesday it was all gone plus a lb.  If you eat veggies and drink water that extra weight will be gone soon.

BTY I love your name. Spider Pig, Spider Pig...
