I gained 25 pounds of water in two weeks! what could cause this? it seems the more water i drink the higher the number increases.

Nothing good...: Nothing good can cause a 25-lb weight gain in a normal, healthy person in just 2 weeks. Heart disease, liver disease, and kidney disease can do it. Cancer in the abdomen can do it. If a person doesn't feel bloated in the abdomen, has no trouble walking or breathing, and doesn't have puffy legs, maybe his scale is broken (and he didn't gain 25-lbs). Of course, the doctor can figure all this out.
