Guys I drank 2 gallons of water and now the scale says I weigh 5 pounds more WTF I thought water was 0 calorie??

Water weight, most likely. Don't sweat it (or do, as the case may be).

It happens. For example.. 3 weeks ago I weighed in at 175.4.. then the next week it was 175.8... then the next week it was 175.6... then this week it was a drastic drop to 172.6. Plateaus happen, it's normal, don't freak out.. you can't expect to consistently just lose 1 LB a week non-stop.. it doesn't work that way. I should also add that I was losing 1.3 every week for about 3 1/2 months...
