Ok, so I live in Florida and I know that heat can cause you to bloat up like a blow fish, but this morning I've discovered my body is made of some magical substance.

Just for kicks (since I've been counting accurately for a week now) I stepped on the scale, I gave a huge sigh and thought about giving up when it read 239. Way more than when I started counting. This morning was when I officially check my weight, now ...even though I weighed myself last night I was thinking "What the hell...I'll just see...."

Lo and behold....I weighed 235!!! :noway:

Holy Canole four pound weight loss and all I did was go to bed! Therefore I am convinced my body is magic and maybe a bit of a comedian.....I think it likes to screw with me. :wink:

    LOL, water weight, the amount of sodium in your body can swing your weight up to 5 pounds in one day. Add that to the waste you may expel, and you can actually swing up to 8 pounds in one day believe it or not. I have had 6 lb swings before, never 8 but I can see it happening. 4 lbs doesn't sound all that surprising.
