    Its either fluid weight or when was your last bowel movement? being backed up from medicines can make you gain weight. Also you need to talk to the doctor. You mother is doing a form of neglect and abuse because of your weight and you age you are obese and have a hard road ahead of you.

    Because that not how you should be losing weight. Starving yourself is very unhealthy and can actually slow down your metabolism and cause your body to hold on to weight. If you are so uncomfortable with your body weight you need to speak with your doctor about how to lose weight. Dieting at a young age (anything under 18) without doctor supervision can be dangerous. To lose weight safely you should be eating fruits and veggies, whole wheat, and lean meat, and be sure to drink plenty of water!

    Please don't starve yourself, its dangerous and both physically and mentally.

    Two pounds in one day is probably fluid retention
