Twenty : Twenty pounds in ten days is extreme and may represent water weight gain. This can be a sign of other serious issues (major hormonal changes, heart failure, kidney and liver issues).

After a thorough history, physical, exam and necessary testing, your doctor should be able to figure out the cause of such a sudden increase in weight without major food intake. Best of luck.

Recently lost 5-7lbs unexpectedly (normally 136-138lbs and now 131), and with no changes to the diet/exercise regimen that I've maintained for years. Was already very fit and lean, and this is now the least I've ever weighed. Cause for concern?
