What the biggest loss you've seen in the scales between weigh ins?

It often amazes me the amount that drops between weigh ins sometimes. I know it's all water weight, but I just wonder where it goes. Sometimes I wonder if my scales are broken coz I certainly haven't peed out that much weight. The scales went down 3 lbs in 2 days!!! I weigh at the same time each time (first thing in the morning) and only if I've emptied well.

The reason I'm surprised more this time is ive been on holidays where I drank quite a bit of wine each evening (5 days) and I thought it'd take well over a week to see a loss again. So yes the water weight was due to the wine, just surprised by how much.

    4.5 lb overnight, I retain a lot of water if I have flown so the day after my holiday I was up 11lb spend the day peeing like mad and whoosh the next day 4.5lb lighter. Lost another 2lbs the day after that hope it carries on but haven't weighed since.

    That might be part of it too as we did fly.

    I guess 3lbs in a day is not much at all.
