After gorging myself on an obscene amount of Sushi and Sashimi last night, I weighed myself to find that I gained about 5 pounds from the day before. This did not concern me as I could tell that most of this weight was still sitting in my stomach based on the fact that every time I burped I could still smell and taste the fish YUCK!

In any event, I was scheduled for today a serious of vigorous workouts and by the end of the day I not only lost all that I gained, but then some.

Which brings me to my question... What is the highest amount of weight you lost in a single day? I may have set a record, by losing over 9 pounds between morning and night.

    You know, I may have set the record yesterday also for the most I gained in a single day. I'll have to make a note of that next time it happens.

    I'm guessing a majority of what you lost is water from sweating and all the food you ate passing out of your system. so fat loss, about a pound.

    remember though that just because you gained weight doesnt mean you gained fat.. 1 gallon of water is 8lbs....thats why its so important to get a scale that breaks down body fat percentages etc

    When I was on Jenny Craig and playing in a rock band, I dropped 8 pounds in one nite when we were playing a club in Georgetown. It was very inspiring!

    Yah, I know I didn't lose fat. I just posted this for ****s and giggles. It is not about the fat lost, it is just about the number.

    I don't have a one day total but when I finally got my fat *kitten* to the gym 2 1/2 years ago, I lost 17.5 pounds in the first week. My trainer just about had a fit! Needless to say week 2 and 3 were rather anticlimatic...it wasn't until week 4 that the pounds started to come off again.

    Almost every night I go to sleep and weigh myself... the next morning, I typically weigh 3-7 pounds less than the night before

    I have lost 5lbs after a good run. I sweat a lot :blushing:

    Actually, tomorrow I am going for my long run, so I am going to weight myself tonight (heaviest after the day) and after just to see if I beat you.

    Well when it's that time of the month I can gain 10lbs in one day and lose 12.5lbs in one day, just depends on how much work I've done and how bloated I am HAHA!

    11lbs! Will admit it was with help from a diuretic tablet...I was suffering from major water retention, couldn't move my ankles so popped one of my pills and piddled for England for 6 hours!
