Rapid weight gain?

In the last 3 weeks, I've gained over 10 pounds. Last time I was at the doctor, they told me I need to watch my weight, but I'm not eating badly or being lazy. I work and go to school constantly, but I'm still gaining weight rapidly, and I feel there's nothing I can do to make it stop.

That's good advice above about myfitnesspal. Even just keeping a food diary on paper can help to really get a grasp of any possibilities there. I'd suggest eliminating or restricting sugar especially if you haven't already. Good luck!

Are you sure you arent eating badly sometimes you dont realize it. Try downloading myfitnesspal and track your food for a week then look at it.

Positive, I'm on a special diet, so there's no way I can. I was thinking maybe preeclampsia, because I've been having some other symptoms and I had it in my previous pregnancy.
