Have you ever weighed before you go to bed and then weighed the next morning before breakfast. How much did you lose?

As many as 3 pounds...so awesome to go to sleep one weight and wake up lighter!2

I've lost as much as 7lbs overnight (and kept the 7lbs off). I have a weird way of losing weight, I think. LOL I tend to lose it in chunks.1

3-4lbs.0

yeah, and then I measure for two consecutive days to make sure it's right!0

Yes, it is all water (breathed, perspired and urinated out) and food gone in any bowel movement you might have first thing in the morning. The changes can be quite large, which is why the general suggestion is weigh yourself first thing in the AM following going to the bathroom but before eating or drinking anything. After that point, once your weight throughout the day will go up because of what you eat and drink.3

Great I though I was wierd when I woke up 3 pounds lighter..LOL0

OMG!..This just happened to me today...i thought something was wrong with my scale. I talked to my nutritionist 2day and she said it might have been water weight..so who knows but i was extremely freaked out. I lost 4lbs from yesterday0

Ususally about 2 pounds.
Have you ever woke up and GAINED? I have -- I must be sleep-eating or something! I sure hope I am enjoying those nights! LOL1 -
I generally lose 3 pounds overnight. Of course, most of it is water weight and I have to pee alot!! lol0
-
Yeah, I've lost & I've gained. I've found that if I eat ham or anything with a ton of sodium, I always gain in my sleep.. That makes for a bad morning..0

About 2 for me, very consistently.0
-
I would like to know how this is possible. Anyone want to share with me?0

I did that exact things this morning and was down almost 7 pounds. I thought I was dreaming.1

It's pretty normal, I lose up to 3 lbs but more commonly 1-2 lbs. It's not all from urination and bowel movement though. If you think about it, you sleep 8hr (or try to) and you are effectively fasting but your body still needs energy to be alive though not as much as while awake (that basic amount is your BMR). So some of that weight is also just your bodily function costs.0

Mine wasn't just water weight - I kept those 7lbs off (and heck.. they are still off - along with a lot more "7lbs"). Like I said, I lose in large chunks. I lost 4lbs this week and for being VERY close to my ideal body weight for my build (and at my goal weight) - that is HUGE.0 -

I have no idea how it happens, but I can tell you that it does. I've had it happen to me many times in this journey. And I always keep it off. I'm really unsure what happens - but it DOES happen (and it isn't all water weight).0 -
If your exercising it will keep your metabolism revved up long after you are finished, which contributes to more of a calorie burn. If you are drinking your water and it is cold, the body has to increase in metabolism to warm the water, and that burns calories, that is why it is important to drink cold water.5

I don't usually weigh at night, but when I have, I'm pretty consistently 2-3 lbs. more than my morning weight.1
