so around half a week or so ago I weighed myself and I was at 219, I'm now at 214, I always use the bathroom before I use the scale and never eat / drink anything.

is that even possible to lose that much weight in such a short period of time, because it doesn't at all sound right to me.

    It is possible because sodium holds a lot of water weight. Add that to a few pounds of fat and there you have it but don't assume it was all the result of just the last week. It could be your body catching up.

    Yep, I've seen my weight go down as much as 4 lbs from a day to the next. It's a water thing. It can flush out of your system and that gives you a big weight change over as little as a day. There are other factors as well, but it's probably water.
