I am wondering if i am constipated or if its water retention that could be making the scale jump? am i drinking to much or to little water?

Eliminating : constipation is fairly easy and is usually self diagnosed. There is no way to determine whether your weight is a reflection of fluid intake or food intake as you have provided very little information. If you are otherwise healthy, not pregnant, non-smoking, non or social drinker then I don't think there is much to worry about. Consult your local doctor for a more difinitive answer.
