Only 3 pounds water weight :( GTFIH

[ProfessorSnape9]

I'm having a horrible problem. For the past several months, I couldn't gain a Fu**ing pound. I kept upping my calories until i got to 5000. FINALLY, I started gaining a lb/week. Well, I went from 194 to 197 in about 3 weeks and thought I was doing good, only to wake up today and find myself at 195. So in three weeks I've gained ONE pound of muscle/fat, and the other 2 were water. And who knows!! Maybe the one pound I think I gained is also water. I'm not taking any creatine. I'm sick of this BS. How the hell do I differentiate between water weight and muscle/fat weight??? I'm feeling so discouraged right now, someone please help

If you gained 1 lb a week though those 3 weeks, it's safe to say it was muscle / fat rather than water weight.

IF it was muscle/fat, then why did I lose it all today?

To be completely honest, I have no idea lol. You sure your calories didn't change slightly? Perhaps you woke up dehydrated, but who knows, you could've had some water weight before you had gained the weight. You weighed yourself every week at same day? Maybe you were bloated last time you measured.

I don't know what the problem is also, I looked at my progress pics from April a compared them to my current, and all I noticed was that my shoulders were a tiny bit bigger and I had higher bf%. the rest looked the same

if you weighed 195 this morning. then by the end of the day i bet you will be back to 197
