Wow that sucks.  I have ongoing thyroid problems and I gain weight whenever it goes on the blink, without eating more than usual.  Have you had yours checked?

 I too have been up and down the first two weeks, It wasnt until this week that it seems to have stopped, the only difference is Ive been drinking 5 liters of water every day.

That sounds very strange!  Are you sure your scale is working properly?

Sounds like it can only be a water weight gain (or a broken scale) is it your TOM? Are you... uh... voiding?

Water is the likely culprit - 15lbs in the first week is A LOT.  I cant imagine you've been consuming enough calories to gain 15lbs of fat.

Are you drinking water as well?  I think we are supposed to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water (including the optifast) in a day.  I have lost 13 pounds so far on Opti and it has been 8 days for me.
