Muscle and/or water.

2 lbs = 1 L of water = 250 - 300 g of glycogen or carbs

More muscle = more glycogen

1 g glycogen needs 3-4 g of water to store it, so if you are not burning as much glycogen as you are not weight training, more glycogen and water is being held in the muscle.

I am not entirely positive of the rate of muscle growth, but I don't think your body can make 2 lbs of muscle in one week.

Next time you are at the butchers or in the shops, just take a look at how much meat that actually is.

It is a fair amount.
