Gaining weight?
Hello i'm a 20 year old female. I'm about 5'7 and currently weigh now almost 180lbs. Just 3 months ago i weighted 140lbs. I still look like i weigh that i tell people how much i weigh and they dont believe me. I'm not stressed, i'm eating decently healthy. The past month i noticed i was gaining weight so i eliminated any sugary beverages and drink mainly water and have even tried sticking to a low fat diet. But still i'm gaining weight and i just dont understand why. I dont go to the gym and work out but i do get a decent amount of exercise. I take the dogs for a daily 30-45 min walk plus my job requires me to constantly be on my feet. I dont have insurance right now and i only go to the doctors if absolutely needed. Any suggestions on whats going on and what i can do to lose the extra weight? Thanks so much! I do rate

Hmm, that's a bit strange. And it's definitely not a pregnancy?
This is probably not it and is going to sound really stupid, but did you get a new scale? I used to use a non-digital scale, and when I got a digital scale I realised my one was off by about 5 kilos. Digital scales can also stuff up sometimes, too.
Do you think it could be muscle? If you're doing regular exercise, part of the weight gain could be muscle. I don't think you could really gain 40 pounds of muscle, though.
If you keep gaining weight, I would definitely suggest going to see your doctor and asking what it might be. I'm sure it's nothing serious, but sometimes problems with your body and illnesses can make you gain weight. And plus, it's a professional opinion.
The other advice was great though, yay protein!

Personally, I feel like low-fat dieting is what is keeping us as a nation, fat. Fat will not make you fat. Excess carbs do. Bring fat back into your diet and add protein.
