In my experience it is, depending on how much Ive ate. Ive previously put on more than a stone :oops: in a week.

I should think that it would be very limited how much you could have put on in one day, for example a pound of fat is something like 3000 kcal so you would have had to of ate 3000 too much calories to have put on a pound. I would think you could not have ate more than 7000 kcal at most which would only be 2 pounds.

This would be easy to loose again so just go back on the diet. The most important thing is not to see it as a failure and give up the diet!! Get back on track and it will be fine :sunny:

I have a question to add to this thread: would it be possible to lose the "Christmas weight" in time for New Year's Eve? I have to fit into a UK size 8 again for a party I might be going to.

It's possible to gain or lose weight in just a couple HOURS. It's called eating and pooping. Seriously. I started watching my weight for health reasons and I noticed that it would rise or fall even within the same day by up to 5 pounds.

I take a really big dump..... I love 1 1/2 - 2 pounds instantly. I take a shower.... I somehow lose half a pound.

Small fluctuations in weight are indeed normal and happen all the time.

it is posible to gaint weight.
if it werent posible to gain weight in one day it wouldnt be posible to gain weight in a year because a year consist of 365 days.
therefor it is posible to gain weight in one day.
