I'm not an expert but it seems that there are a million different things that can cause this and I'm sure it's a combination of them all. My weight seems to fluctuate 3-4lbs between the time I wake up and when I go to bed. I know muscle weighs more than fat so it can appear like a gain but you might just be upping muscle mass. I wouldn't worry to much about the cake... You did it but there is nothing you can do about it now. Getting depressed or obsessing over it isn't healhty IMHO. Just stay hydrated and continue with the working out... Try weighing yourself every couple days and see if the trend starts to go down again.

I think you will continue to loose..

Everyone hits those little bumps.
