Haha, because I cut my hair.
I hadn't had a hair cut in a year, and it was down to my waist and very thick. I got it cut shoulder length and thinned out. I'm now showing a 22 pound loss for the week (I weigh at the same time every Sunday). :-D
Who knew hair could weigh that much? I doubt I lost more than 2 actual pounds!

Wow! That is great. Hope you like the new look. My hair weighs nothing (unfortunately!)0

Hahaha! That's awesome. New look, new you!0

Dang! I've already used up all of THAT fat free mass and it is not coming back fast enough to make a difference for my next weigh in0

Wow!
Pretty sure I could shave my head and it wouldn't make a difference on the scale.0 -
Holy bejeebus, 22 pounds of hair?!!?!? O.O
I have quite thick hair, and now I'm sort of curious. Next time I get a cut, I'll have to do a before and after analysis.0 -
I lost 25 pounds in one week. I don't recommend the "Stabbed in the liver and ice chips for a week" diet, though.0

Umm, you'll wanna check if your scale is properly calibrated. Hair rarely weighs more than a pound, and certainly your hair isn't 10x as thick as an average person's hair.

You really think OP's hair weighed 20+lbs?0 -
I have a 20lb dumbell here, and not even if you had dreads and trapped a years worth of shed hair within them would I believe you had 20+ lbs of hair hanging from your head.0

My brother works in a salon. I've helped him out a few times and swept up and dumped bags or hair. A full bag of hair MAYBE weighed 5lbs. So I'm not buying the 22lbs loss because it was cut.

22 lb of hair?
I have really long thick hair too ... often down to my hips. But I can assure you it is nowhere near 22 lb.
Just recently, in fact, it was long enough for me to sit on, and I had it cut back to waist length ... so a good 8-10 inches off the bottom. I wondered if I might lose half a kilo or something, but nope. No change. It does, however, feel a bit lighter ... a little bit less neck strain.0
